J AN INTRODUCTION TO THE MAN OP 
GALILEE 

Reader, may I have a quiet but earnest word with 
you about The Man of Galilee ? Do you wonder 
how I came to compile this book? I will tell 
you. It was my strong desire to visit Palestine a 
second time, and while in that land to read the record 
of our Lord's life in the words of the four 
evangelists. It was my purpose while doing this to 
travel in the footsteps of Christ, To illustrate, I 
thought to go from Jordan where Jesus was 
baptised to Cana of Galilee and thence to Jerusalem 
and back to Samaria and Cana, thus completing the 
Master's first journey, and afterwards the other 
journeys. Well, I searched for a continuous narra- 
tive of the life of Christ in Scriptural language, and 
found several by which I profited in my studies, but 
none answered my desire. So I made a book, and 
took it with me to the Holy Land, but was com- 
pelled by observatitns made on the spot to modify 
its arrangements, and here it is with side notes, 
which I believe will assist the reader into the 
mysteries of the Master's life. On my return to 
London a gentleman said to me, " If you had a 
great need for this kind of a book there may be 



vi INTRODUCTION 

others ; publish it." I consented. Friend, this 
has been the most entrancing work I ever did. 
Several times the hour for eating had long passed 
before I thought of food. I hope that in the read- 
ing of it and in the study of the Man of Galilee you 
will become equally absorbed. May it lead you to 
live a life, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, that shall 
please Him. 

Sincerely yours, 

WILLIAM EDGAK GEIL.

THE MAN OF GALILEE 

OHAPTEE I 

JSivtb to Baptism 

Being in the form of God, He counted it not a prize to 
be on an equality with God, but emptied Himself 
taking the form of a servant, being made in the 
likeness of men.— Phil, 2 : 6 R. V. 

^^HEEE was in the the days of Herod Luke t . 3-W| 
( [the Great], the king of Judaea, a Elijah ' the 

^1^ certain priest named Zacharias, ? r ? phct h 

of the course of Abia : and his Lord. 
wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and Mal * : & 
her name was Elisabeth. And they were both 
righteous before God, walking in all the command- 
ments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And 
they had no child, because that Elisabeth was 
barren, and they both were now well stricken in 
years. 

And it came to pass, that while he executed the 
priest's office before God in the order of his course, 
according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot 
was to burn incense when he went into the temple 
of the Lord. And the whole multitude of the 
people were praying without at the time of incense. 
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord 
standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 
And w T hen Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and 
fear fell upon him.

4 THE kAtt OF GALILEE 

But the angel said unto him, * Fear not, Zachar- 
ias : for thy prayer is heard ; and thy wife Elisabeth 
shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name 
John [God's fa\our] . And thou shalt have joy and 
gladness ; and many shall rejoice at his birth. For 
he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, 
and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink ; and 
he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even 
from his mother's womb. And many of the 
children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their 
God. And he shall go before him in the spirit and 
power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to 
the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of 
the just ; to make ready a people prepared for the 
Lord.' And Zacharias said unto the angel, ' Where- 
by shall I know this ? for I am an old man, and my 
wife well stricken in years/ And the angel answering 
said unto him, ' I am Gabriel that stand in 
the presence of God ; and am sent to speak 
unto thee, and to shew thee these glad 
tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not 
able to speak, until the day that these things shall 
be performed, because thou believest not my words, 
which shall be fulfilled in their season/ And the 
people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he 
tarried so long in the temple. And when he came 
out, he could not speak unto them : and they per- 
ceived that he had seen a vision in the temple : for 
he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless. 
And it came to pass, that as soon as the days of his 
ministration were accomplished, he departed to 
his own house. 

And after those days his wife Elisabeth con- 
ceived, and hid herself five months, saying, ' Thus 
hath the Lord dealt with me in the da) s wherein 
he looked on me, to take away my reproach among 
men/ 



BIRTH TO BAPTISM 5 

And in the sixth month the angel . 
Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of f David 6 
Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin f° j^flefh 
espoused to a man whose name was Rom. i .• 3. 
Joseph, of the house of David ; and 
the virgin's name was Mary. And the 
angel came in unto her, and said, ' Hail, 
thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is 
with thee : blessed art thou among women.' 
\nd when she saw him, she was troubled at his 
saying, and cast in her mind what manner of saluta- 
tion this should be. And the angel said unto her, 
' Fear not, Mary : for thou hast found favour with 
God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy 
womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name 
JESUS [Jehovah's Salvation]. He shall be great, 
and shall be called the Son of the Highest : and the 
Lord God shall give unto him the chrone of his 
father David : And he shall reign over the house of 
Jacob for ever ; and of his kingdom there shall be 
no end.' Then said Mary unto the angel, ' How 
shall this be, seeing I know not a man ? ' And the 
angel answered and said unto her, ' The Holy 
Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the 
Highest shall overshadow thee : therefore also that 
holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be 
called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin, 
Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old 
age : and this is the sixth month with her, who was 
called barren. For with God nothing shall be 
impossible.' And Mary said, ' Behold the handmaid 
of the Lord ; be it unto me according to thy word.' 
And the angel departed from her. 

And Mary arose in those days, and went into the 
hill country with haste, into a city of Juda ; and 
entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted 
Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when 



6 THE MAN OP GALILEE 

Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe 
leaped in her womb ; and Elisabeth was filled with 
the Holy Ghost : and she spake out with a loud 
voice, and said, ' Blessed art thou among women, 
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence 
is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should 
come to me ? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy 
salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in 
my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed : 
for there shall be a performance of those things 
which were told her from the Lord.' And Mary 
said 

compare 'My soul doth magnify the Lord, 

soni iah,S ^ m y S P^ bath rejoiced in God 
1 Sam 2: i-ii. my Saviour. 

For he hath regarded the low estate of bis hand- 
maiden : 

For, behold, from henceforth all generations 
shall call me blessed. 

For he that is mighty hath done to me great 
things ; 

And holy is his name. 

And his mercy is on them that fear him 

From generation to generation. 

He hath shewed strength with his arm : 

He hath scattered the proud in the imagination 
of their hearts. 

He hath put down the mighty from their seats 

And exalted them of low degree. 

He hath filled the hungry with good things 

And the rich he hath sent empty away. 

He hath holpen his servant Israel 

In remembrance of his mercy; 

As he spake to our fathers, 

To Abraham, and to his seed for ever.' 
And Mary abode with her about three months, 
and returned to her own house 



BIRTH TO BAPTISM 7 

Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should 
be delivered ; and she brought forth a son. And her 
neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had 
shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced 
with her. And it came to pass, that on the eighth 
day they came to circumcise the child; and they 
called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. 
And his mother answered and said, ■ Not so ; but he 
shall be called John.' And they said unto her, ' There 
is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.* 
And they made signs to his father, how he would have 
him called, and he asked for a writing table, and 
wrote, saying, 'His name is John.' And they marvelled 
all. And his mouth was opened immediately, and 
his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. 
And fear came on all that dwelt round about them : 
and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout 
all the hill country of Judaea. And all they that 
heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, 
1 What manner of child shall this be ! ' And the 
hand of the Lord was with him. And his father 
Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and 
prophesied, saying, 

1 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel ; 
For he hath visited and redeemed his people, 
And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us 
In the house of his servant David ; 
As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, 
Which have been since the world began : 
That we should be saved from our enemies, 
And from the hand of all that hate us ; 
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, 
And to remember his holy covenant; 
The oath w T hich he sware to our father Abraham, 
That he would grant unto us, that we being 
delivered out of the hand of our enemies 
might serve him without fear, 



8 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

In holiness and righteousness before him, all the 

days of oar life. 
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of 
the Highest : 
isa. w:3. For tnou s ^ a ^ g° before the face of 
the Lord to prepare his ways ; 
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people 
By the remission of their sins, 
Through the tender mercy of our God ; 
Whereby the day-spring from on high hath 

visited us, 
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in 
isa. 9: 2. the shadow of death, 

To guide our feet into the way of peace.' 
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, 
and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing 
unto Israel. 

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on 

Matthew , , 

1 :i8-?5. this wise. 

Emmanuel. When as his mother Mary was espoused 
to Joseph, before they came together, she 
was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then 
Joseph her husband, being a just man, and 
not willing to make her a public example, was 
minded to put her away privily. But while he 
thought on these things, behold, the angel of the 
Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, 
* Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto 
thee Mary thy wife : for that which is conceived in 
her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth 
a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS : for He 
shalt save his people from their sins/ 

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 
1 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, 

And shall bring forth a son, 

And they shall call his name Emmanuel/ 



BIRTH TO BAPTISM 9 

which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph 
being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord 
had bidden him, and took unto him his wife. And 
knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn 
son: and he called his name JESUS [Jehovah's 
Salvation]. 

And it came to pass in those days, that w 

n i. j en Luke2:l-3a 

there went out a decree from Caesar 
Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And 
this taxing was first made when Cyrenius w T as 
governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, 
every one into his own city. And Joseph also went 
up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into 
Judaea, unto the city of David, which Mighty God 
is called Bethlehem; (because he was I&a - 9:6 - 
of the house and lineage of David :) to be taxed 
with Mary his espoused wife, being great with 
child. And so it was, that, while they were there, 
the days were accomplished that she should be 
delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, 
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid 
him in a manger ; because there was no room for 
them in the inn. 

And there were in the same country shepherds 
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock 
by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord Prince 
came upon them, and the glory of the of 
Lord shone round about them : and they ^?°/: 6 
were sore afraid. And the angel said unto 
them, 'Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good 
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a 
Saviour, which is Christ L the Anointed j the Lord. 
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the 
babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger/ 
And sud enly there was with the angel a multi- 
tude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 



10 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

1 Glory to God in the highest, 
And on earth peace, 
Goodwill toward men/ 

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone 
away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one 
to another, * Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, 
and see this thing which is come to pass, which the 
Lord hath made known unto us.' And they came 
with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the 
babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen 
it, they made known abroad the saying which was 
told them concerning this child. And all they that 
heard it wondered at those things which were 
told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all 
these things, and pondered them in her heart. And 
the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God 
for all the things that they had heard and seen, as 
it was told unto them. 

And when eight days were accomplished for the 
circumcising of the child, his name was called 
JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he 
was conceived in the womb. 

And when the forty days of her 
purification according to the law of Moses 
were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, 
to present him to the Lord ; (as it is written in the 
law of the Lord, every male that openeth the womb 
shall be called holy to the Lord ;) and to offer a sacrifice 
according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, 
A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. And, 
behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name 
was Simeon ; and the same man was just and devout, 
waiting for the consolation of Israel : and the Holy 
Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him 
by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, 
before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came 



BIRTH TO BAPTISM 11 

by the Spirit into the temple : and when the parents 
brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the 
custom of the law, then took he him up in his arms, 
and blessed God, and said, 

* Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in 
peace, 

According to thy word : for mine eyes have seen 
thy salvation, 

Which thou hast prepared before the x 4 
face of all people : 

A light to lighten the Gentiles, 

And the glory of thy people Israel.' 
And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things 
which were spoken of him. And Simeon blessed 
them, and said unto Mary his mother, Isa g . u 
4 Behold, this child is set for the fall and 
rising again of many in Israel ; and for a sign 
which shall be spoken against ; (yea, a sword shall 
pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts 
of many hearts may be revealed.' And there was 
one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, 
of the tribe of Aser : she was of great age, and had 
lived with an husband seven years from her virgin- 
ity ; and she was a widow of about fourscore and 
four years, which departed not from the temple, 
but served God with fastings and prayers night and 
day. And she coming in that instant gave thanks 
likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all 
them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. 

Now when Jesus was born in Beth- 
lehem of Judeea in the days of Herod 
the king, behold, there came wise men from the 
east to Jerusalem, saying, 'Where is a star o it 
he that is born King of the Jews ? for we of Jacob, 
have seen his star in the East, and are 
come to worship him.' When Herod the king 
had heard these things, he was troubled, and all 



Matt. 2 : 1-23. 



12 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered 
all the chief priests and scribes of the people to- 
gether, he demanded of them where Christ should 
be born. And they said unto him, ' In Bethlehem 
of Judaea : for thus it is written by the prophet. 
Micah5-2. And thou Bethlehem, in the land of 
Juda, 
Art not the least among the princes of Judah, 
For out of thee shall come a Governor, 
That shall rule my people Israel.' 
Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise 
men, enquired of them diligently what time the star 
appeared. And he sent ih m to Bethlehem, and 
said, ' Go and search dilL ently for the young child ; 
and when ye have found him, bring me w T ord 
again, that I may come and worship him also.' 

When they had heard the king, they departed ; 
and, lo, the star, which they saw x in the East, went 
before them, till it came and stood over where the 
young child was. When tbey saw the star, they 
rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they 
were come into the house, they saw the young child 
with Mary his mother, and fell down, and 
worshipped him : and when they had opened their 
treasures, they presented unto him gifts ; gold, and 
frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of God 
in a dream that they should not return to Herod, 
they departed into their own country another 
way. 

And when they were departed, behold, the angel 
of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, 
1 Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and 
flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee 
word : for Herod will seek the young child to destroy 
him/ When he arose, he took the young child and 
his mother by night, and departed into Egypt : and 
was there until the death of Herod ; that it might be 



BIRTH TO BAPTISM 18 

fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the 
prophet, saying, 

Out of Egypt have I called my son. 
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of 
the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, 
and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, 
and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and 
under, according to the time which he had diligently 
enquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that 
which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, 

1 In Bama was there a voice heard, 

Lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, 

Bachel weeping for her children, 

And would not be comforted, because they 
are not.' 
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of 
the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 
saying, * Arise and take the young child and his 
mother, and go into the land of Israel : for they are 
dead which sought the young child's life.' And he 
arose, and took the young child and his mother, and 
came into the land of Israel. But when he heard 
that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of 
his father Herod, he w T as afraid to go thither: not- 
withstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he 
turned aside into the parts of Galilee : and he came 
and dwelt in a city called Nazareth : that it might 
be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, 
He shall be called a Nazarene. And Luke2:ws2 : 
the child grew, and waxed strong in 
spirit, filled with wisdom : and the grace of God 
was upon him. 

Now his parents went to Jerusalem Teach them

every year at the least of the passover. dren. 
And when he was twelve years old, Deutll:19 - 
they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the 
feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as 



14 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in 
Jerusalem ; and Joseph and his mother knew not of 
it. But they, supposing him to have been in the 
company, went a day's journey ; and they sought 
him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. And 
when they found him not, they turned back again to 
Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that 
after three days they found him in the temple, 
sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing 
them and asking them questions. And all that 
heard him were astonished at his understanding and 
answers. And when they saw him, they were 
amazed: and his mother said unto him, ' Son, why 
hast thou thus dealt with us ? behold, thy father 
and I have sought thee sorrowing.' And he said 
unto them, " How is it that ye sought me ? wist ye 
not that I must be about my Father's business ? " 
And they understood not the saying which he spake 
unto them. 

And he went down with them, and came to 
Nazareth, and was subject unto them : and his 
mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And 
Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in 
favour with God and man.

CHAPTER II 

Zbe first jfort^ 2>a\)s 

We have not an high priest which cannot be touched 
with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all 
points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. — 
Hebrews 4, 15. 

BOW in the fifteenth year of the Luk3 3:M8, 
reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius 
Pilate being Governor of Judaea, and 
Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his 
brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region 
of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene. 
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the 
word of God carne unto John the son of Zacharias 
in the wilderness. 

And he came into all the country about a Man sent 
Jordan, preaching ' Eepent ye : for the j™™^ ° d * 
kingdom of heaven is at hand.' As it is 
written in the book of the words of Malt * 3:2 - 
Esaias the prophet, saying, 

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 

Prepare ye the way of the Lord, 

Make his paths straight. 

Every valley shall be filled, 

And every mountain and hill shall be brought 

low; 
And the crooked shall be made straight, 
And the rough ways shall be made smooth ; 
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to

be baptized of him, ' generation of vipers, who 
hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, 
and begin not to say within yourselves, We have 
Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That 
God is able of these stones to raise up children unto 
Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the 
root of the trees : every tree therefore which bringeth 
not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into 
the fire.' And the people asked him, saying, * What 
shall we do then ? ' He answereth and saith unto 
them, l He that hath two coats, let him impart to 
him that hath none ; and he that hath meat, let him 
do likewise.' Then came also publicans to be 
baptized, and said unto him, * Master, what shall 
we do ? ' And he said unto them, * Exact no more 
than that which is appointed you.' And the soldiers 
likewise demanded of him, saying, ' And what 
shall we do ? ' And he said unto them, i Do violence 
to no man, neither accuse any falsely ; and be con- 
tent with your wages/ And as the people were in 
expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of 
John, whether he were the Christ, or not; John 
answered, saying unto them all, * I indeed baptize 
you with water ; but one mightier than I cometh, 
the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to un- 
loose : he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost 
and with fire : Whose fan is in his hand, and he 
will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the 
wheat into his garner ; but the chaff he will 
burn with fire unquenchable/ And many other 
things in his exhortation preached he unto the 
people. 

Matt. 3: 13-17. Then cometh Jesus ^m Galilee to 

Jordan unto John, to be? baptized of him. 

But John forbad him, saying, ' I have need to be 



THE FIRST FORTY DAYS 19 

baptized of thee, and comest thou to me ?' He humbled 
And Jesus answering him said unto him {Jecom^ng

becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. " PhlL3:8 - 
Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when <<And 
he was baptized, went up straightway out praying." 
of the water : and, lo, the heavens were ue ' 
opened unto him and he saw the Spirit of God 
descending like a dove, and lighting upon him : 
And lo a voice from heaven saying, 

This is my beloved Son, 

In whom I am well pleased. 

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit 
into the wilderness to be tempted of the He is' able 
devil. And when he had fasted forty them C r C hat r 
days and forty nights, he was after- ar« tempetd. 
ward an hungred. And when the 
tempter came to him, he said, ' Ifthou be the Son 
of God, command that these stones be made bread/ 
But he answered and said, "it is 
written, _ Deut.8:3. 

Man shall not live by bread alone, 

But by every word that proceedeth out of the 
mouth of God." 
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, 
and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 
And saith unto him, ' If thou be the 
Son of God, cast thyself down : for it is Psa - 91: VL 
written, 

He shall give his angels charge concerning 
thee: 

And in their hands they shall bear thee up, 

Lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a 
stone. ' 
Jesus said unto him, " It is written 
again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord Deut,6: 13 *

exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the 
kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them ; 
And saith unto him, ' All these things will I give

thee hence, Satan : for it is written, 

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, 
And him only shalt thou serve." 
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angela 
came and ministered unto him. 
John l • 15-51 J° nn bare witness of him, and cried, 
John came saying, ' This was he of whom I spake, 
So/mi 1 ? 1 ? 688, He that cometh after me is preferred 
before me : for he was before me. And 
of his fulness have all we received, and grace for 
grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace 
and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath 
seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, 
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath 
declared him.' 

And this is the record of John, when the Jews 
sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, 
1 Who art thou ? ' And he confessed, and denied 
not ; but confessed, ' I am not the Christ.' 
And they asked him, 'What then? Art thou 
Elias ? ' And he saith, 1 1 am not.' Art thou that 
prophet ? ' And he answered, ' No/ Then said 
they unto him, ' Who art thou ? that we may give an 
answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of 
thyself ? ' He said, ' I am the voice of one 
isa.40:3. crying in the wilderness, Make straight 
the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.' 
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 
And they asked him, and said unto him, ■ Why 
baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor 
Elias, neither that prophet ? ' John answered

them, saying, 1 1 baptize with water : but there 
standeth one among you, whom ye know not ; he 
it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, 
whose shoe's latent t I am not worthy to unloose. 
These things were done in Bethabara beyond 
Jordan, where John was baptizing. 

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, 
and saith, ' Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh 
away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I 
said, After me cometh a man which is preferred 
before me : for he was before me. And I knew 
him not : but that he should be made manifest to 
Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water/ 

And John bare record, saying, * I saw the Spirit 
descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode 
upon him. And I knew him not : but he that sent 
me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, 
Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, 
and remaining on him, the same is he which 
baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and 
bare record that this is the Son of God/

HGAIN the next day after John stood, John l: 33-01, 
and two of his disciples; and look* 1 maul- 
ing upon Jesus as he walked, n e |me.' thy 
he saith, 'Behold the Lamb Johni7:6. 
of God!' And the two disciples heard him speak, 
and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and 
saw them following, and saith unto them, " What 
seek ye ? " They said unto him, c Rabbi (which is 
to say, being interpreted, Master), where dwellest 
thou?' He saith unto them, "Come and see." 
They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode 
with him that day : for it was about the tenth hour. 
One of the two which heard John speak, and 
followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith 
unto him, ' We have found the Messias, which is, 
being interpreted, the Christ.' And he brought him 
to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, 
"Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be 
called Cephas," which is, by interpretation, a stone. 
The day following Jesus would go forth into 
Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, 
"Follow me." 

Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew

and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith 
unto him, * We have found him, of whom Moses, in 
the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of 
Nazareth, the son of Joseph/ And Nathanael said 
unto him, i Can there any good thing come out of 
Nazareth ? ' Philip saith unto him, * Come and 
see/ 

Jesus saw Nathaneal, coming to him, and saith 
of him, "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is 
no guile ! " Nathanael saith unto him, * Whence 
knowest thou me ? ' Jesus answered and said unto 
him, " Before that Philip called thee, when thou 
wast under the fig tree, I saw thee/' Nathanael 
answered and saith unto him, ' Eabbi, thou art tho 
Son of God; thou art the King of Israel/ Jesus 
answered and said unto him, " Because I said unto 
thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou ? 
thou shalt see greater things than these." And he 
saith unto him, " Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels 
of God ascending and descending upon the Son of 
man/' 

John 2 • ^ n ^ ^ e *kird ^ a y ^ nere was a 

°i-i2. * marriage in Cana of Galilee ; and the 
We beheld mother of Jesus was there ; and both 
His glory. Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the 
marriage. And when they wanted wine, 
the mother of Jesus saith unto him, ' They have no 
wine/ Jesus saith unto her, " Woman, what have 
I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come." His 
mother saith unto the servants, i Whatsoever he 
saith unto you, do it/ And there were set there six 
waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying 
of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 
Jesus saith unto them, " Fill the waterpots with 
water/' And they filled them up to the brim. An^ 



THE FIRST MINISTRY 25 

he saith unto them, u Draw out now, and bear unto 
the governor of the feast." And they bare it. 
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water 
that was made wine, and knew not whence it was : 
(but the servants which drew the water knew ;) the 
governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and 
saith unto him, ' Every man at the beginning doth 
set forth good wine; and when men have well 
drunk, then that which is worse : but thou hast kept 
the good wine until now.' This beginning of 
miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and 
manifested forth his glory ; and his disciples believed 
on him. 

After this he went down to Capernaum he, and 
his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: 
and they continued there not many days. And the 
Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus 
went up to Jerusalem, and found in John2:13 « 
the temple those that sold oxen and a house of 
sheep and doves, and the changers of pr ** e Jj. r 
money sitting : and when he had made 
a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out 
of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and 
poured oufc the changers' money, and overthrew the 
tables ; and said unto them that sold doves, 
11 Take these things hence ; make not my Father's 
house an house of merchandise." And his disciples 
remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine 
house hath eaten me up. 

Then answered the Jews and said unto him, 
1 What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou 
doest these things ? ' Jesus answered and said 
unto them, " Destroy this temple and in three days 
I will raise it up." Then said the Jews, * Forty and 
six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou 
rear it up in three days ? ' But he spake of the temple 
of his body. When therefore he was risen from the 



26 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this 
unto them ; and they believed the scripture, £nd 
the words which Jesus had said. 

x^ow when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, 
in the feast day, many believed in his name, when 
they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus 
did not commit himself unto them, because he knew 
ail men, and needed not that any should testify of 
fBQan : for he knew what was in man. There was a 
iohn 3: 1-22. man °f ^ ne Pharisees, named Nicodemus, 
a ruler of the Jews : The same came to 
Not many Jesus by night, and said unto him, 
called. ' Eabbi, we know that thou art a teacher 

l Cor. i:26. come f rom God : for no man can do 

these miracles that thou doest, except God be with 
him. Jesus answered and said unto him, " Verily, 
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born 
again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." 
Nicodemus saith unto him, ' How can a man be 
born when he is old ? can he enter the second 
time into his mother's womb, and be born ? ' Jesus 
answered, " Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except 
a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he canuot 
enter into the kingdom of God. That which is 
born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born 
of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto 
thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth 
where it listeth, and thou nearest the sound thereof, 
but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it 
goeth : so is every one that is born of the Spirit." 
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, ' How can 
these things be ? Jesus answered and said unto 
him, "Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest 
not these things ? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 
We speak that we do know, and testify that we 
have seen ; and ye receive not our witness. If I 



THE FIRST MINISTRY 27 

have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, 
how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly 
things ? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, 
but he that came down from heaven, even the Son 
of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted 
up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the 
bon of man be lifted up ; that whosoever believeth 
in him should not perish, but have eternal life." 

For God so loved the world, that he gave 
his only begotten Son, that whosoever 
believeth in him should not perish, Herein is 
but have everlasting life. For God l0 ™* 4 . 10 
sent not his Son in the world to condemn 
the world ; but that the world through him might 
be saved. He that believeth on him is not con- 
demned : but he that believeth not is condemned 
already, because he hath not believed in the name of 
the only begotten Son of God. And this is the con- 
demnation, that light is come into the world, and 
men loved darkness rather than light, because their 
deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil 
hateth the light, neither comet h to the light, lest 
his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth 
truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be 
made manifest, that they are wrought in God. 

After these things came Jesus and His L ay i n rf a 
disciples into the land of Judaea ; and there Foundation. 
He tarried with them, and baptized. And Hebrews6 : i# 
John also was baptizing in iEnon near to Salim, 
because there was much water there : and they 
came and were baptized. For John was not yet 
cast into prison. Then there arose a question 
between some of John's disciples and the Jews 
about purifying. And they came unto John and 
said unto him, 'Eabbi, he that was with thee 
beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, 
behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to 



28 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

him.' John answered and said, ■ A man can receive 
nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Ye your- 
selves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the 
Christ, but that I am sent before Him. He that hath 
the bride is the bridegroom ; but the friend of the 
bridegroom rejoiceth, which standeth and heareth 
him, greatly because of the bridegroom's voice : 
this my joy therefore is fulfilled. He must increase, 
but I must decrease.' 

He that cometh from above is above all : he that 
is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth : 
he that cometh from heaven is above all. And 
what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth ; 
and no man receiveth his testimony. He ihat hath 
received his testimony hath set to his seal that God 
is true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the 
the w T ords of God : for God giveth not the Spirit by 
measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and 
hath given all things into his hand. He that 
believeth on the Son hath everlasting life : and he 
that believeth not the son shall not see life ; but the 
wrath of God abideth on him. 

When therefore the Lord knew how the 
witness in Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and 
Samaria, baptized more disciples than John (though 
Acts i : s. j esug Himself baptized not, but His dis- 
ciples), He left Judaea, and departed again into 
Galilee. And He must needs go through Samaria. 
Then cometh He to a city of Samaria, which is 
called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that 
Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well 
was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with His 
journey, sat thus on the well : and it was about the 
sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria 
to draw water : Jesus saith unto her, " Give me to 
drink." (For His disciples were gone away unto the 
city to buy meat). Then saith the woman of 



THE FIRST MINISTRY 29 

Samaria unto Him, 'How is it that Thou, being a 
Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of 
Samaria ? For the Jews have no dealings with the 
Samaritans/ Jesus answered and said unto her, 
11 If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that 
saith to thee, Give Me to drink, thou wouldest have 
asked of Him, and He would have given thee living 
w T ater." The woman saith unto Him, ■ Sir, Thou 
hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep : 
from whence then hast Thou that living water? 
Art Thou greater than our father Jacob, which gav6 
us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his 
children, and his cattle ? Jesus answered and 
said unto her, " Whosoever drinketh of this water 
shall thirst again : But whosoever drinketh of the 
water that I shall give him shall be in him a well 
of water springing up into everlasting life." The 
woman saith unto Him, ' Sir, give me this water that 
I thirst not, neither come hither to draw/ Jesus 
saith unto her, " Go, call thy husband, and come 
hither/' The woman answered and said, ' I have 
no husband/ Jesus said unto her, " Thou hast 
well said, I have no husband: For thou hast had 
five husbands ; and he whom thou now hast is not 
thy husband: in that saidst thou truly/' The 
woman saith unto Him, ' Sir, I perceive that thou 
art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this 
mountain ; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the 
place where men ought to worship/ Jesus saith 
unto her, " Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, 
when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at 
Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye 
know not what : we know what we worship : for 
salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and 
now is, when the true worshippers shall worship 
the Father in spirit and in truth : for the Father 
seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit : 



30 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

and they that worship Him must worship Him in 
spirit and in truth. " The woman saith unto Him, 
'I know that Messias coineth, which is called 
Christ : when He is come, He will tell us all things.' 
Jesus saith unto her, " I that speak unto thee am 
He," 

And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled 
that he talked with the woman : yet no man said, 
What seeketh thou? or, Why talketh thou with 
her? The woman then left her waterpot, and went 
her way into the city, and saith to the men, * Come, 
see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: 
is not this the Christ ? ' Then they went out of the 
city, and came unto him. In the meanwhile his 
disciples prayed him, saying, ' Master, eat.' But he 
said unto them, " I have meat to eat that ye know 
not of." Therefore said the disciples one to 
another, hath any man brought him ought to eat ? 
Jesus saith unto them, " My meat is to do the will 
of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say 
not ye, there are yet four months, and then cometh 
harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, 
and look on the fields ; for they are white already 
to harvest And he that reapeth receiveth wages, 
and gathereth fruit unto life eternal : that both he 
that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice* 
together. And herein is that saying true, One 
soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap 
that whereon ye bestowed no labour : other men 
laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." 
Joy in And many of the Samaritans of that 

that city, city believed on him for the saying of the 
woman, which testified, He told me all 
that I ever did. So when the Samaritans were 
come unto him, they besought him that he would 
tarry with them : and he" abode there two days. 
And many more believed because of his own word; 



THE FIRST MINISTRY 31 

and said unto the woman, 'Now we believe, not 
because of thy saying: for we have heard him our- 
selves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the 
Saviour of the world. 1 And Jesus returned 
in the power of the Spirit into Galilee. e ' 14, 
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no 
honour is his own country. Then when he was 
come into Galilee, the .Galileans received him, 
having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem 
at the feast : for they also went unto Luke i . 15# 
the feast. And He taught in their 
synagogues being glorified of all. 

So Jesus came again into Cana of He went

son was sick at Capernaum. When he 
heard that Jesus was come out of Judoaa into 
Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that 
he would come down, and heal his son : for he was 
at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, 
''Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe." 
The nobleman saith unto him, ■ Sir, come down ere 
my child die.' Jesus saith unto him, "Go thy 
way ; thy son liveth." And the man believed the 
word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went 
his way. 

And as he was now going down, his servants met 
him, and told him, saying, 'Thy son liveth/ Then 
enquired he of them the hour when he began to 
amend. And they said unto him, 'Yesterday at the 
seventh hoar the fever left him/ so the father

and himself believed, and his whole house.

did, when he was come out of Judaea into 
Galilee.

HND he came to Nazareth, where Luke 4 . 
he had been brought up : and, 16-32. * 
as his custom was, he went into Behold my 
the synagogue on the sabbath Servant, 
day, and stood up for to read. And there 
was delivered unto him the book of the prophet 
Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he 
found the place where it was written, 
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 
Because he hath anointed me to preach the 

gospel to the poor ; 
He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to 

preach deliverance to the captives, 
And recovering of sight to the blind, 
To set at liberty them that are bruised, 
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the 
minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them 
that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 
And he began to say unto them, " This day is this 
scripture fulfilled in your ears." And all bare him 
witness, and wondered at the gracious words which 
proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, ' Is not 
this Joseph's son ? ' And he said unto them, " Ye 
will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, 
heal thyself : whatsoever we have heard done in 
Capernaum, do also here in thy country." And he 

35 



36 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

said, " Verily I say unto you, No prophet is 
accepted in his own country. But I tell you of a 
truth, many widows were in Israel in the days 
of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three 
years and six months, when great famine was 
throughout all the land ; but unto none of them was 
Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto 
a woman that was a widow. And many lepers 
were in Israel in the time of Elias the prophet ; 
and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman 
the Syrian. " And all they in the synagogue, when 
they heard these things, were filled with wrath and 
rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led nim 
unto the brow of the hill whereon their city 
was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 
But he passing through the midst of them went his 
way, and came down to Capernaum, a city of 
Matt. 4: Galilee. And leaving Nazareth, he 
13 - 16 ' came and dwelt in Capernaum, which 
is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon 
and Nephthalim : That it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 

The land of Zabulon, and the land of 

Nephthalim, 
The way of the sea, beyond Jordan, 
Galilee of the Gentiles ; 
The people which sat in darkness 
Saw great light ; 
And to them which sat in the region and 

shadow of death 
Light is sprung up. 

From that time Jesus began to preach, and 
to say, " Repent : for the kingdom of heaven is at 
hand." 

Lukes: ^ n ^ ** came to pass, that, as the

ing by the lake : but the fishermen were John 21:3% 

gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 

And he entered into one of the ships, which was 

Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out 

a little from the land. And he sat down and 

taught the people out of the ship. Now when he 

had left speaking, he said unto Simon, " Launch 

out into the deep, and let down your nets for a 

draught. " And Simon answering said unto him, 

'Master, we have toiled all the night, and have 

taken nothing : nevertheless at thy word I will let 

down the net.' And when they had this done, they 

inclosed a great multitude of fishes : and their net 

brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, 

which were in the other ship, that they should 

come and help them. And they camu, and filled 

both the ships, so that they began to sink. When 

Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, 

saying, ■ Depart from me ; for I am a sinful 

man, O Lord.' For he was astonished, and all 

that were with him, at the draught of the 

fishes which they had taken : And so was also 

James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were 

partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, 

11 Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men." 

And when they had brought their ships to land, 

they forsook all and followed him.

which had a spirit of an unclean devil, JlwdUrti. ' 

and cried out with a loud voice, saying, Acts 10 : 38. 

' Let us alone ; what have we to do with thee, thou 

Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? 



38 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

I know thee who thou art ; the Holy One of God. 
And Jesus rebuked him, saying,* " Hold thy peace, 
and come out of Him." And when the devil had 
thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and 
hurt him not. And they were all amazed, and 
spake among themselves, saying, * What a word is 
this I for with authority and power he commandeth 
the unclean spirits, and they come out.' And the 
fame of him went out into every place of the 
country round about. 

And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered 
into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother 
was taken with a great fever ; and they besought 
him for her. And he stood over her, and rebuked 
the fever; and it left her: and immediately she 
arose and ministered unto them. Now when the 
sun was setting, all they that had any sick 
with divers diseases brought them unto him; and 
he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed 
them. And devils also came out of many, crying 
out, and saying, ' Thou art Christ, the Son of God/ 
And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak : 
for they knew that he was Christ. 

And when it was day, he departed and went into 
a desert place: and the people sought him, and 
came unto him, and stayed him, that he should 
not depart from them. And he said unto them, 
I must preach the Kingdom of God to olher cities 
also: for therefore am I sent. And he preached in 
the synagogues of Galilee. 

And it came to pass, when he was in 

L i2- 6 39. : a certain city, behold a man full of 
leprosy : who, seeing Jesus, fell on his 
face, and besought him, saying, ■ Lord, if thou 
wilt, thou canst make me clean.' And he 
put forth his hand, and touched him, 
saying, " I will : be thou clean." And immedi- 



THE MOUNTAIN MINISTRY 39 

ately the leprosy departed from him. And 
he charged him to tell no man : hut " go, and shew 
thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, 
according as Moses commanded, for a testimony 
unto them." But so much the more went there a 
fame abroad cf him : and great multitudes came 
together to hear, and fo be healed by him of their 
infirmities. And he withdrew himself into the 
wilderness, and prayed. 

And it came to pass on a certain day, as he 
was teaching, that there w T ere Pharisees and 
doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out 
of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem : 
and the power of the Lord was present to heal 
them. And, behold men brought in a bed a man 
which was taken with a palsy : and they sought 
means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 
And when they could not find by what way they 
might bring him in because of the multitude, they 
went upon the housetop, and let him down through 
the tiling with his couch into the midst before 
Jesus. And when he saw their faith, he said unto 
him, li Man, thy sins are forgiven thee." And the 
scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, 
* Who is this which speaketh blasphemies ? Who 
can forgive sins but God alone ? ' But when Jesus 
perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto 
them, " What reason ye in your hearts ? Whether 
is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee ; or to 
say, Eise up and walk? But that ye may know 
that the Son of Man hath power upon earth to for- 
give sins" (He said unto the sick of the palsy), 
" I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, 
and go into thine house. ,, And immediately he 
rose up before them, and took up that whereon he 
lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying 
God. And they were all amazed, and they glorified 



40 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

God, and were filled with fear, saying we have seen 
strange things to-day. And after these things, he 
went forth, and saw a publican, named LeYi, sit- 
ting at the receipt of custom: and he said 

unto him, " Follow Me." And he left 
JLmsn called a ll r0 se up, and followed him. And 
Matthcw9:9. Levi made him a great feast in his own 

house : and there was a great company 
of publicans and of others that sat down with them. 
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against 
His disciples, saying, ' Why do ye eat and drink 
with publicans and sinners ? ' And Jesus answer- 
ing said unto them, " They that are whole need 
not a physician ; but they that are sick. I came 
not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." 
And they said unto him, * Why do the disciples of 
John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the 
disciples of the Pharisees ; but thine eat and 
drink ? ' And he said unto them, " Can ye make 
the children of the bridechamber fast, while the 
bridegroom is with them ? But the days will come, 
when the bridegroom shall be taken away from 
them, and then shall they fast in those days." 

And he spake also a parable unto 
Nigh unto them, " No man putteth a piece of new 
li^fy! 111 ^ garment upon an old : if otherwise, 
neb. 8 : is. then both the new maketh a rent, and 

the piece that was taken out of the new 
agreeth not with the old. And no man putteth 
new wine into old bottles ; else the new wine will 
burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles 
shall perish. But new wine must be put into new 
bottles; and both are preserved. No man also 
having drunk old wine straightway desireth new : 
John 5 * or ^ e sa ^ n > " ^he °ld is better." After 

this there was a feast of the Jews ; and 
Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at 



THE MOUNTAIN MINISTRY 11 

Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, 
which is called in the Hebrew tongue Consult 
Bethesda, having five porches. In version. 
these lay a great multitude of impotent 
folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the move- 
ment of the water. And a certain man was there, 
which had an infirmity thirtv and eight years. 
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had 
been now a long time in that case, he saith unto 
him, u Wilt thou be made whole ? " The impotent 
man answered him, ' Sir, I have no man, when the 
w T ater is troubled, to put me into the pool : but 
while I am coming, another steppeth down before 
me.' Jesus saith unto him, " Eise, take up thy 
bed, and walk." And immediately the man was 
made whole, and took up his bed, and walked : and 
on the same day was the sabbath. The Jews 
therefore said unto him that was cured, * It is the 
sabbath day : it is not lawful for thee to carry thy 
bed.' He answered them, ' He that made me 
whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed and 
walk.' Then asked they him, 'What man is that 
which said unto thee, Take up thy bed and walk ? ' 
.And he that was healed wist not who it was : for 
Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being 
in that place. Afterwards Jesus findeth him in 
the temple, and said unto him, " Behold, thou 
art made whole : sin no more, lest a worse thing 
come unto thee." The man departed, and told 
the Jews that it was Jesus, which had * made 
him whole. And therefore did the Jews perse- 
cute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he 
had done these things on the sabbath day. 
But Jesus answered them, " My Father worketh 
hitherto, and I work." Therefore the Jews sought 
the more to kill him, because he not only had broken 
the sabbath, but said also that God was his father 



42 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

making himself equal with God. Then answered 
Jesus and said unto them, " Verily, verily, I say 
unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but 
what he seeth the Father do : for what things 
soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him 
all things that himself doeth : and he will shew him 
greater works than these, that ye may marvel. For 
as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth 
them ; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 
For the Father judgeth no ^man, but hath com- 
mitted all judgment unto the Son : That all men 
should honour the Son, even as they honour the 
Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth 
not the Father which hath sent him. Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, 
and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlast- 
ing life, and shall not come into condemnation ; but 
is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I 
say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, 
when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son o 
God : and they that hear shall live. For as the 
Father hath life in himself; so bath he given 
to the Son to have life in himself ; and hath given 
him authority to execute judgment also, because he 
is the Son of man. Marvel not at this : for the 
hour is coming, in the which all that are in the 
graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth ; 
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of 
life ; and they that have done evil, unto the resur- 
rection of damnation. I can of mine own self do 
nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is 
just : because I seek not mine own will, but the will 
of the Father which hath sent me. If I bear 
witness of myself, my witness is not true." There 
is another that beareth witness of me ; and I 
know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is 



THE MOUNTAIN MINISTRY 43 

true. Te sent unto John, and he bear witness unto 
the truth. But I receive not testimony from man : 
but these things I say, that ye might be saved. He 
was a burning and a shining light : and ye were 
willing for a season to rejoice in his light. But I 
have greater witness than that of John : for the 
works which the Father hath given me to finish, 
the same works that I do, bear witness to me that 
the Father hath sent me. And the Father himself, 
which hath sent me, hath borne witness to me. Ye 
have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen 
his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in 
you : for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 

" Search the scriptures : for in them ye think 
ye have eternal life : and they are they which 
testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye 
might have life. I receive not honour from men. 
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God 
in you. I am come in my Father's name, and ye 
receive me not : if another shall come in his own 
name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, 
which receive honour of one another, and seek not 
the honour that cometh from God only ? Do not 
think that I will accuse you to the Father : there 
is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye 
trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have 
believed me : for he wrote of me. But if ye believe 
not his writings, how shall ye believe my words ? M 

And it came to pass on the second Luke6:i-i9. 
sabbath after the first, that he went The Sabbath 
through the corn fields ; and his ™** e for 
disciples plucked the ears of corn, and Mark 2 .- 27. 
did eat, rubbing them in their hands. And certain 
of the Pharisees said unto them, ' Why do ye that 
which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days ? ' 
And Jesus answering them said, " Have ye not 
read so much as this, what David did, when him- 



44 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

self was an hungred, and they which were with 
him ; how he went into the house of God, and did 
take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them 
that were with him ; which it is not lawful to eat 
but for the priests alone ? " And he said unto them, 
" That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath." 

And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that 
he entered into the synagogue and taught : and 
there was a man whose right hand was withered. 
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, 
whether he would heal on the sabbath day ; that 
they might find an accusation against him. But 
he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which 
had the withered hand, " Eise up, and stand forth 
in the midst." And he arose and stood forth. Then 
said Jesus unto them, " I will ask you one thing; 
Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to 
do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?" And look- 
ing round about upon them all, he said unto the 
man, " Stretch forth thy hand." And he did so: 
and his hand was restored whole as the other. 
And they were filled with madness ; and communed 
one with another what they might do to Jesus. 
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out 
into a mountain to pray, and continued all night 
in prayer to God. 

And when it was day, he called unto him his 
disciples : and of them He chose twelve, whom 
Twelve a ^ so ne Dam ed apostles ; Simon (whom 

foundations, he also named Peter), and Andrew his 
brother, James and John, Philip and 
Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the 
son of Alphseus, and Simon called Zelotes, and 
Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, 
which also was the traitor. 

And be came down with them, and stood in the 



THE MOUNTAIN MINISTRY 45 

plain, and the company of his disciples, and a 
great multitude of people out of all Judaea and 
Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and 
Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of 
their diseases ; and they that were vexed with un- 
clean spirits : and they were healed. And the 
whole multitude sought to touch him : for there 
went virtue out of him, and healed them all. 

And seeing the multitude?, he went 
up into a mountain ; and when he 
was set, his disciples came unto him ; And he 
opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 
" Blessed are the poor in spirit : 

For their's is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are they that mourn : 
For they shall be comforted. 
Blessed are the meek : 

For they shall inherit the earth. 
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst 
after righteousness : 
For they shall be filled. 
Blessed are the merciful : 

For they shall obtain mercy. 
Blessed are the pure in heart : 

For they shall see God. 
Blessed are the peacemakers : 

For they shall be called the children of God. 
Blessed are they which are persecuted for 
righteousness' sake : 
For their's is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, 
and pers£cute you, and shall say all manner 
of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is 
jour reward in heaven : for so persecuted 
they the prophets which were before you. 
" Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt 



46 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted ? 
it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast 
out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are 
the light of the world. A city that is set on an 
hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a 
candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candle- 
stick ; and it giveth light unto all that are in the 
house. Let your light so shine before men, that 
they may see your good works, and glorify your 
Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am 
come to destroy the law, or the prophets : I am 
not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say 
unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or 
one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all 
be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one 
of these least commandments, and shall teach men 
so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of 
heaven : but whosoever shall do and teach them, 
the same shall be called great in the kingdom of 
heaven. For I say unto you, That except your 
righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the 
scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into 
the kingdom of heaven. 

" Ye have heard that it wa$ said by them of old 
time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall 
kill shall be in danger of the judgn:enb ; But I say 
unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother 
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment : 
and whosoever shall say to his brother, Eaca, shall 
be in danger of the council : but whosoever shall 
say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and 
there rememberest that thy brother hath ought 
against thee; Leave there thy gift before the 
altar, and go thy way ; first be reconciled to thy 
cother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree 
with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the 



THE MOUNTAIN MINISTRY 47 

way with him ; lest at any time the adversary 
deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee 
to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily 
I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out 
thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 

44 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old 
time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I 
say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman 
to lust after her hath committed adultery with her 
already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend 
thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee : for it is 
profitable for thee that one of thy members should 
perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast 
into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it 
off, and cast it from thee : for it is profitable for thee 
that one of thy members should perish, and not 
that thy whole body should be cast into hell. It hath 
been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let 
him give her a writing of divorcement. But I say 
unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, 
saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to 
commit adultery ; and whosoever shall marry her 
that is divorced committeth adultery 

" Again, ye have heard that it hath been said 
by them of old time. Thou shalt not forswear 
thyself, But shall perform unto the Lord 
thine oaths: But I say unto you, swear not at 
all ; neither by heaven ; for it is God's throne : Nor 
by the earth ; for it his footstool : neither by Jeru- 
salem, for it is the city of the great King. Neither 
shalt thou swear by thine head, because thou canst 
not make one hair white or black. But let your 
communication be, Yea, yea ; nay, nay: for what- 
soever is more than these cometh of evil. 

" Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye 
for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth : but I say 
unto you, That ye resist not evil : but whosoever 



48 THE MAN OP GALILEE 

shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him 
the other also. And if any man will sue thee at 
the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy 
cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go 
a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh 
thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn 
not thou away. 

" Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou 
shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine 
enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, 
bless them that curse you, do good to them that 
hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use 
you, and persecute you ; That ye may be ;the 
children of your Father which is in heaven : for 
he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the 
good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the 
unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what 
reward have ye ? do not even publicans the same ? 
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye 
more than others ? do not even the publicans so ? 
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which 
is in heaven is perfect. 

11 Take heed that ye do not your righteousness 
before men, to be seen of them : otherwise ye have 
no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do nob 
sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do 
in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may 
have the glory of men. Verily I say unto you, 
They have their reward. But when thou doest 
alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right 
hand doeth : That thine alms may be in secret : 
and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall 
reward thee openly. 

" And when thou pray est, thou shalt not be as 
the hypocrites are : for they love to pray standing 
in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, 



THE MOUNTAIN MINISTRY 4.) 

that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto 
you, They have their reward. But thou, when 
thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou 
hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in 
secret; and thy Father which seest in secret shall 
reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not 
vain repetitions, as the heathen do : for they think 
that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 
Be not ye therefore like unto them : for your Father 
knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask 
him. After this manner therefore pray ye : 

Our Father which art in heaven, 

Hallowed be thy name. 
Thy kingdom come. 

Thy will be done, 
In earth, as it is in heaven. 

Give us this day 
Our daily bread. 

And forgive us our debts, 
As we forgive our debtors. 

And lead us not into temptation, 
But deliver us from evil. 

For thine is the kingdom, 
And the power, and the glory, 

For ever. Amen. 

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your 
heavenly Father will also forgive you : But if ye 
forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your 
Father forgive your trespasses. 

" Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, 
of a sad countenance : for they disfigure their 
faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. 
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, 
and \uish thy face ; That thou appear not unto 
men t<? fast, but unto thy Father which is in 

E 



50 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

secret : and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall 
reward thee openly. 

" Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, 
where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where 
thieves break through and steal : But lay up for 
yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth 
nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not 
break through nor steal : For where your treasure 
is, there will your heart be also. The light of the 
body is the eye : if therefore thine eye be single, 
thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine 
eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. 
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, 
how great is that darkness ! 

" No man can serve two masters : for either he 
will hate the one, and love the other ; or else he 
will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye 
cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say 
unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye 
shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your 
body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more 
than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold 
the fowls of the air : for they sow not, neither do 
they reap, nor gather into barns ; yet your heavenly 
Father feedeth them. i\re ye not much better than 
they ? Which of you by taking thought can add 
one cubit unto his stature? xAnd why take ye 
thought for raiment ? Consider the lilies of the 
field, how they grow ; they toil not, neither do they 
spin : And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon 
in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, 
which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the 
oven, shall he not much more clothe you, ye of 
little faith ? Therefore take no thought, saying, 
What shall we eat ? or, What shall we drink ? or 
Wherewithal shall we be clothed ? (For after all 



THE MOUNTAIN MINISTRY 51 

these things do the Gentiles seek :) for your 
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all 
these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of 
God, and his righteousness ; and all these thin ;s 
shall be added unto you. Take therefore no 
thought for the morrow : for the morrow shall take 
thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto 
the day is the evil thereof. 

11 Judge not, that ye be not judged. Matfc 
For with what judgment ye judge, ye 
shall be judged : and with what measure yc mete, 
it shall be measured to you again. And why 
beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's 
eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine 
own eye ? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let 
me pull out the mote out of thine eye ; and, behold, 
a beam is in thine own eye ? Thou hypocrite, first 
cast out the beam out of thine own eye ; and then 
shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy 
brother's eye. 

11 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, 
neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they 
trample them under their feet, and turn again and 
rend you. Ask, and it shall be given you ; seek, 
and ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be opened 
unto you : For every one that asketh receiveth ; 
and he that seeketh findeth ; and to him that 
knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is 
there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he 
give him a stone ? Or if he ask a fish, will he give 
him a serpent ? If ye then, being evil, know how 
to give good gifts unto your children, how much 
more shall your Father which is in heaven give 
good things to them that ask him ? Therefore all 
things whatsover ye would that men should do to 
you, do ye even so to them : for this is the law and 
the prophets. 



52 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

" Enter ye in at the strait gate for wide is the 
gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to 
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat : 
because strait is the gate, and narrow is the 
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that 
find it. 

" Beware of false prophets, which come to you in 
sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening 
wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do 
men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles ? 
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit ; 
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good 
tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a 
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that 
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and 
cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye 
shall know them. Not every one that saith unto 
me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of 
heaven ; but he that doeth the will of my Father 
which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that 
day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy 
name ? and in thy name have cast out devils ? and 
in thy name done many wonderful works ? And 
then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: 
depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 

" Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of 
mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a 
wise man, which built his house upon a rock. 
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and 
the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and it 
fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. And 
every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and 
doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, 
wmich built his house upon the sand : And the rain 
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, 
and beat upon that house ; and it fell : and great 
was the fall of it.' 



THE MOUNTAIN MINISTRY 53 

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended 
these sayings, the people were astonished at his 
doctrine : For he taught them as one having 
authority, and not as the scribes. Now 
when he had ended all his sayings in Luke ? : l-io. 
the audience of the people, he entered into 
Capernaum. 

And a certain centurion's servant, who was 
dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. And 
when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto Cpum |, s f rom 
him the elders of the Jews, beseeching the table, 
him that he would come and heal his 
servant. And when they came to Jesus, the) 
besought him instantly, saying, ■ That he was 
worthy for whom he should do this : For he 
loveth our nation, and he hath built us a 
synagogue/ Then Jesus went with them. And 
when he was now not far from the house, the 
centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, 
1 Lord, trouble not thyself : for I am not worthy 
that thou shouldest enter under my roof : Where- 
fore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto 
thee : but say in a word, and my servant shall bo 
healed. For I also am a man set under authority, 
having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, 
and he goeth ; and to another, Come, and he 
cometh ; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth 
it/ When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled 
at him, and turned him about, and said unto the 
people that followed him, "I say unto you, I have 
not found so great faith, no, not in Israel." And 
they that were sent, returning to the house, found 
the servant whole that had been sick.

Shall the dead arise, and praise thee P 

Psalm 88 : 10. 

HND it cam© to pass the day 
after, that he went into a city %?fc B 
called Main; and many of his 
disciples went with him, and JftfttSth 
much people. Now when he came nigh 1 Kings 
to the gate of the city, beheld, there was 
a dead man carried out, the only son of his 
mother, and she was a widow : and much people 
of the city was with her. And when the Lord 
saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto 
her, " Weep not." And he came and touched the 
bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he 
said, " Young man, I say unto thee, Arise." And 
he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And 
he delivered him to his mother. And there came 
a fear on all : and they glorified God, saying, ' That 
a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That 
God hath visited Lis people.' And this rumour of 
him went forth throughout all Judsea, and 
throughout all the region round about. 

And the disciples of John showed him of all these 
things. And John calling unto him two of his 
disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Io 
1 Art thou he that should come? or look am left, 
we for another?' When the men were ^J 1 *' 
come unto him, they said, ' John Baptist 

55 



56 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that 
should come? or look we for another?' And in 
that same hour he cured many of their infirmities 
and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many 
that were blind he gave sight. Then Jesus answer- 
ing said unto them, 

" Go your way, 

And tell John what things ye have seen and 
heard, 

How that the blind see, 

The lame walk, 

The lepers are cleansed, 

The deaf hear, 

The dead are raised, 

To the poor the gospel is preached. 

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be 
offended in me." 

And when the messengers of John, 
Elijah the were departed, he began to speak unto 
^iaiSchi' tne P e °ple concerning John, " What went 
*• 5. ye out into the wilderness for to see ? A 

reed shaken with the wind? But what 
went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft 
raiment ? Behold, they which are gorgeously 
apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. 
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? 
Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a 
prophet." " This is he, of whom it is written, 

Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, 

Which shall prepare thy way before thee. 
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of 
women there is not a greater prophet than John 
the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom 
of God is greater than he." 

Whom And all the people that heard him, and 

teach 6 the publicans, justified God, being bap- 
know- tized with the baptism of John. But 
itaiah28:9 the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the 



THE GREEN GLENS OF GALILEE 57 

counsel of God against themselves, being 
not baptized of him. And the Lord Baid, 
" Whereunto then shall I liken the men 
of this generation? and to what are they like 1 
They are like unto children sitting in the market- 
place, and calling one to another, and saying, We 
have piped unto you, and ye have not danced ; we 
have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. For 
John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor 
drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The 
Son of man ig come eating and drinking ; and ye 
say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a 
friend of publicans and sinners ! But wisdom is 
justified of all her children." Then began 
he to upbraid the cities wherein most ^20-30. 
of hia mighty works were done, because The 
they repented not : "Woe unto thee, Cho- StSeY^h 
razin ! woe unto thee, Bethsaida ! for if believed 
the mighty works, which were done in Jonahs: 
you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, 
they would have repented long ago in sackcloth 
and ashes. But I say unto you, It shall be more 
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judg- 
ment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which 
art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down 
to hell : for if the mighty works, which have been 
done in thee, had been done im Sodom, it would 
have remained until this day. But I say unto 
you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of 
Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee." 

At that time Jesus answered and said, 
" I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven His com . 
and earth, because thou hast hid these mand- 
things from the wise and prudent, and are not 
hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, f*}*™ 11 *' 
Father : for so it seemed good in thy sight. 5 .-3, 
All things are delivered unto me of my 
Father : and no man knoweth the Son, but the 



58 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, 
save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will 
reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour 
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I 
am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest 
unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my 
burden is light-" 

And one of the Pharisees desired him 
e * that he would eat with him. And he went 
into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. 
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a 
sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the 
Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box, of 
ointment, and stood at his feet behind him weep- 
ing, and began to wash his feet with tears, and 
did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and 
kissed his feet, and anointed them with the oint- 
ment. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden 
him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, ' This 
man, if he were a prophet, would have known who 
and what manner of woman this is that toucheth 
him: for she is a sinner.' And Jesus answering 
said unto him, " Simon, I have somewhat to say 
unto thee." And he saith, ' Master, say on.' 
" There was a certain creditor which had two 
debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the 
other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, 
he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, 
which of them will love him most?" Simon 
answered and said, ' I suppose that he, to whom 
he forgave most.' And he said unto him, " Thou 
hast rightly judged." And he turned to the 
woman, and said unto Simon, " Seest thou this 
woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest 
me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my 
feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of 



THE GREEN GLENS OF GALILEE 59 

her head. Thou gavesfc me no kiss: but. this 
woman since the time I came in hath not ceased 
to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not 
anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet 
with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her 
sins, which are many, are forgiven ; for she loved 
much : but to whom little is forgiven, the same 
loveth little." And he said unto her, " Thy sins 
are forgiven/' And they that sat at meat with 
him began to say within themselves, ' Who is this 
that forgiveth sins alsoT And he said to the 
woman, " Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace." 

And it came to pass afterward, that he Luke 8: 
went througnout every city and village, 1 " 3, 
preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the king- 
dom of God and the twelve were with him, and cer- 
tain women, which had been healed of evil spirits 
and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of 
whom went seven devils, and Jcanna the wife of 
Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many 
others, which ministered unto him of their sub- 
stance- 

And he was casting out a devil, and it 
was dumb. And it came to pass, when Ll Jj[ e 3 l l! 
the devil was gone out, the dumb spake ; 
and the people wondered. But some of ™gj?$* 
them said, He casteth out devils through God. 
Beelzebub, the chief of the devils. And sTi^ 
others, tempting him, sought of him a 
sign from heaven. But he, knowing their thoughts, 
said unto them, " Every kingdom divided against 
itself is brought to desolation; and a house 
divided against a house falleth. If Satan also be 
divided against himself, how shall his kingdom 
stand ? because ye say that I cast out devils through 
Beelzebub. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, 
by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore 



60 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

shall they be your judges. But if I with the 
finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the king- 
dom of God is come upon you. When a strong 
man armed keepth his palace, his goods are in 
peace: but when a stronger than he shall come 
upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him 
all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his 
spoils. He that is not with me is against me: and 
he that gathereth not with me scattereth. When 
the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh 
through dry places, seeking rest; and finding 
none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence 
I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it 
swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh 
to him seven other spirits more wicked than him- 
self ; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the 
last state of that man is worse than the first." 

And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a 
certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, 
and said unto him, ' Blessed is the womb that bare 
thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.' But 
he said, " Yea rather, blessed are they that hear 
the word of God, and keep it." 

And when the people were gathered 
John did no thick togetherj he began to say, " This is 
John 10: 4i. an evil generation: they seek a sign; 
and there shall no sign be given it, but 
the sign of Jonas the prophet* For as Jonas was 
a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of 
man be to this generation. The queen of the 
south shall rise up in the judgment with the men 
of this generation, and condemn them, for she came 
from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the 
wisdom of Solomon ; and, beheld, a greater than 
Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh shall rise 
up in the judgment with this generation, and shall 
condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of 



THE GREEN GLENS OF GALILEE 61 

Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 
" No man, when he hath lighted a candle, 
putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, 
but on a candlestick, that they which come in may 
see the light. The light of the body is the eye : 
therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body 
also is full of light ; but when thine eye is evil, thy 
body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore 
that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 
If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having 
no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as 
when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee 
light." 

While he yet talked to the people, 
behold, his mother and his brethren ^l 4 ™ 22 
stood without, desiring to speak with 
him. Then one said unto him, ' Behold, Shamed to 
thy mother and thy brethren stand with- call them 
out, desiring to speak with thee.' But nXrem^'-.u 
he answered and said unto him that told 
him, " Who is my mother ? and who are my 
brethren?" And he stretched forth his hand 
toward his disciples, and said, " Behold my mother 
and my brethren ! For whosoever shall do the will 
of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my 
brother, and sister, and mother." 

And as he spake, a certain Pharisee 
besought him to dine with him : and he^g-ll. 7 * 
went in, and sat down to meat. And 
when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelledwashed his 
that he had not first washed before^^.^ 
dinner. And the Lord said unto him, 
" Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of 
the cup and the platter; but your inward part 
is full of ravening and wickedness. Ye fools, did 
not he that made that which is without make that 
which is within also? But rather give alms of 



62 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are 
clean unto you. But woe unto you, Pharisees ! for 
ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, 
and pass over judgment and the love of God: 
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the 
other undone. Woe unto you, Pharisees ! for ye 
love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and 
greetings in the markets- Woe unto you, scribes 
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves 
which appear not, and the men that walk over 
them are not aware of them." 

Then answered one of the lawyers, 
caused 6 an d said unto him, ' Master, thus saying 
many to thou reproachest us also.' And he said, 
Mai 2\% " Woe unto you also, ye lawyers ! for ye 
lade men with burdens grievous to be 
borne, and ye yourselves touch not the 
burdens with one of your fingers, Woe unto you ! 
for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and 
your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness 
that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they 
indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. 
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send 
them prophets and apostles, and some of them 
they shall slay and persecute: that the blood of 
all the prophets, which was shed from the founda- 
tion of the world, may be required of this genera- 
tion ; from the blood of Abel unto the blood of 
Zaeh arias, which perished between the altar* and 
the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be re>- 
quired of this generation. Woe unto you, lawyers! 
for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye 
entered not in yourselves, and them that were 
entering in ye hindered." And as he said these 
things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees 
began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him 
to speak of many things: l&ying wait for him, and 
seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that 



THE GREEN GLENS OF GALILEE 63 

they might accuse him. In the mean- Luke 12# 
time, when there were gathered together 
an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch 
that they trode one upon another, he began to say 
unto his disciples first of all, 

" Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which 
is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered, that 
shall not be revealed ; neither hid, that shall not 
be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken 
in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that 
which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be 
proclaimed upon the housetops. And I say unto 
you my friends, Be net afraid of them that kill 
the body, and after that have no more that they 
can do. But I w^ill forewarn you whom ye shall 
fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath 
power to cast into hell ; yea, I say unto you, Fear 
him. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, 
and not one of them is forgotten before God ? But 
even the very hairs of your head are ail num- 
bered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value 
than many sparrows- Also I say unto you, Who- 
soever shall confess me before men, him shall the 
Son of man also confess before the angels of God : 
but he that denieth me before men shall be denied 
before the angels of God. And whoso- 
ever shall speak a word against the Son them that 
of man, it shall be forgiven him: but call evil 
unto him that blasphemeth against the good'evii. 
Holy Ghost it shall not be f orgiven. ha 5 : *°- 
And when they bring you unto the 
synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take 
ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, 
or what ye shall say : for the Holy Ghost shall 
teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. 

And one of the company said unto him, ' Master, 
speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance 
with me/ And he said unto him, " Man, who 



64 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

made me a judge or a divider over you ?" And he 
said unto them, " Take heed, and beware of 
COYetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in 
the abundance of the things which he possesseth." 

And he spake a parable unto them, say- 
Woe unto ln g> " The ground of a certain rich man 
*oin%ouseto brought forth plentifully : and he 
house. ' thought within himself, saying, What 
i*a. 5 : 8. B hall I do, because I have no room where 

to bestow my fruits? And he said, This 
will I do : I will pull down my barns, and build 
greater ; and there will I bestow all my fruits and 
my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou 
hast much goods laid up for many years; take 
thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God 
said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall 
be required of thee: then whose shall those things 
be, which thou hast provided ? So is he that layeth 
up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward 
God." 

And he said unto his disciples, " Therefore I say 
unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye 
shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put 
on. The life is more than meat, and the body is 

more than raiment- Consider the 
Cast all raYens : for they neither sow nor reap ; 
upon htm. which neither have storehouse nor barn ; 
l Peter 5:7. and God feedeth them: how much more 

are ye better than the fowls ? And 
which of you with taking thought can add to his 
stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do 
that thing which is least, why take ye thought for 
the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: 
they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto 
you, that Solomon in all his glory was not 
arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe 
the grass, which is to-day in the field, and to- 
morrow is cast into the oven ; how much more will 



THE GREEN GLENS OF GALILEE 65 

he clothe you, O ye of little faith ? And seek not 
ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither 
be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do 
the nations of the world seek after : and your 
Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 

" But rather seek ye the kingdom of God ; 
and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear 
not, little flock ; for it is your Father's good 
pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell that ye 
have, and give alms ; provide yourselves bags which 
wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth 
not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth 
corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will 
your heart be also-. Let your loins be girded about, 
and your lights burning; and ye your- 
selves like unto men that wait for their if therefore 
lord, when he w T ill return from the thou sh f ! J 
wedding; that when he cometh and Rev. 3:3 
knocketh, they may open unto him 
immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom 
the lord when he cometh shall find watching: 
verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, 
and make them to sit down to meat, and will come 
forth and serve them. And if he shall come in 
the second watch, or come in the third watch, and 
find them so, blessed are those servants. And this 
know, that if the goodman of the house had known 
what hour the thief would come, he would have 
watched, and not have suffered his house to be 
broken through. Be ye therefore ready also : for 
the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think 
not" 

Then Peter said unto him, ' Lord, 
speakest thou this parable unto us, or I have a

then is that faithful and wise steward, entrusted 
whom his lord shall make ruler over his i car. 9 17

whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him 
ruler over all that he hath. But and if that ser- 
vant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his com- 
ing ; and shall begin to beat the menservants and 
maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken ; 
the lord of that servant will come in a day when 
he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is 
not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will 
appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And 
that servant, which knew his lord's will, and pre- 
pared not himself, neither did according to his 
will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he 
that knew not, and did commit things! worthy oi 
stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto 
whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much

of him they will ask the more-"

till it be accomplished ! Suppose ye that 
I am come to give peace on earth ? I tell 
you, Nay; but rather division: for from hence- 
forth there shall be five in one house divided, three 
against two, and two against three. The fathers 
shall be divided against the son, and the son 
against the father ; the mother against the 
daughter, and the daughter against the mother: 
the mother in law against her daughter in law, 
and the daughter in law against her mother in 
law/ 1 And he said also to the people;, " When ye 
eee a cloud rise out of thei west, straightway y^ 
say, There cometh a shower; and so it ie. And 
when ye see the; south wind dIott, ye say ; There

will be heat; and it cometh to pass. Ye hypo- 
crites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the 
earth ; but how is it that ye do not discern this 
time? Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye 
not what is right? When thou goest with thine 
adversary to the magistrate, as thou art

mayest be delivered from him ; lest he while he\s

cast thee into prison. I tell thee, thou 
shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the 
very last mite." 

SEVEN PARABLES. Matt. is. 

The same day went Jesus out of the 
house, and sat by the sea side. And great multi- 
tudes were gathered together unto him, so that ho 
went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude 
stood on the shore. And he spake many things 
unto them in parables, saying, 

" Behold, a sower went forth to sow ; and 
when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and 
the fowls came and devoured them up : some fell 
upon stony places, where they had not much earth : 
and forthwith they sprung up, because they had 
no deepness of earth : and when the sun was up, 
they were scorched ; and because they had no root, 
they withered away. And some fell among thorns ; 
and the thorns sprung up, and choked them : but 
other fell into good ground, and brought forth 
fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixty fold, some 
thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear." 
And the disciples* came, and said unto 
him, ' Why speakest thou unto them in Thou art 
parables?' He answered and said unto 2Sam. 12': 7. 
them, " Because it is given unto you to 
knofw the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but 



68 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to 
him shall be given, and he shall have more abund- 
ance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be 
taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I 
to them in parables: because they seeing see not; 
and hearing they hear not, neither do they under- 
stand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of 
Esaias, which saith, 

"By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not under- 
stand ; 
Andseeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive 
For this people's heart is waxed gross, 
And their ears are dull of hearing, 
And their eyes they have closed: 
Lest at any time they should see with their 

eyes, 
And hear with theifr ears, 
And should understand with their heart, 
And should be converted, 
And I should heal them. 

" But blessed are your eyes, for they 
see : and your ears, for they hear. For 
verily I say unto you, That many prophets 
and righteous men have desired to< see 
those things which ye see, and have not seen them ; 
and to hear those things which ye hear, and have 
not heard them. 

" Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower 
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, 
and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked 
one, and catcheth away that \* hich was sown in his 
heart. This is he which received seed by the way 
side. But he that received the seed into stony 
places, the same is he that heareth the word, and 
anon with joy receiveth it; yet hath he not root in 
himself, but dureth for a while : for when tribula- 
tion or persecution ariseth because of the word, by 



THE GREEN GLENS OF GALILEE 69 

and by he is offended. He also that received seed 
among the thorns is he that heareth the word ; and 
the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of 
riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruit- 
ful. But he that received seed into the good 
ground is he that heareth the word, and under- 
standeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth 
forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some 
thirty." 

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, 
" The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man 
which sowed good seed in his field : but while men 
slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the 
wheat, and went his way. But when the blade 
was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then 
appeared the tares also. So the servants of the 
householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst 
not thou sow good seed in thy field ? from whence 
then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy 
hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt 
thou then that we go and gather them up ? But 
he said, Nay ; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye 
root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow 
together until the harvest: and in the time of 
harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together 
first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn 
them : but gather the wheat into my barn." 

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, 
" The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of 
mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in 
his field : which indeed is the least of all seeds : but 
when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, 
and becometh a tree, so< that the birds of the air 
come and lodge in the branches thereof." 

Another parable spake he unto them, " The 
kingdom of heaven is like unto leaYen, which a 
woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, 
till the whole was leavened. " All these things 



70 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and 
without a parable spake he not unto them : that 
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the 
prophet, saying, 

1 I will open my mouth in parables ; 
I will utter things which ha,ve been kept 
secret from the foundation of the world ' 

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went 
into the house: and his disciples came unto him, 
saying, * Declare unto us the parable of the tares 
of the field/ He answered and said unto them, 
" He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man * 
the field is the world ; the good seed are the chil- 
dren of the kingdom; but the tares are the 
children of the wicked one ; the enemy that sowed 
them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the 
world ; and the reapers are the angels. As there- 
fore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire ; 
so shall it be in the end of this world- The Son of 
man shall send forth his angels>, and they shall 
gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, 
and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them 
into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and 
gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine 
forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. 
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear/' 

" Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto 
treasure hid in a field ; the which when a man 
hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth 
and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field." 

" Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a 
merchant man, seeking goodly pearls, who, when 
he had found one pearl of great price, went and 
sold all that he had, and bought it/' 

" Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a 
net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of 
every kind : which, when it was full, they drew to 
shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into 



THE GREEN GLENS OF GALILEE 71 

vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at 
the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, 
and sever the wicked from among the just. And 
shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall 
be wailing and gnashing of teeth." Jesus saith 
unto them, " Have ye understood all these things V 
They say unto him, ; Yea, Lord/ Then said he 
unto them, " Therefore every scribe which is in- 
structed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto 
a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth 
out of his treasure things new and old." And it 
came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these 
parables, he departed thence. Now when Jesus 
saw great multitudes about him, he gave 
commandment to depart unto the other ^^J 5 
side. And a certain scribe came, and 
said unto him, ' Master, I will follow arosaand 
thee whithersoever thou p-oest.' And wen j: 

1 KlTlOS 

Jesus saith unto him, " The foxes have 1921. 
holes, and the birds of the air have 
nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay 
his head." And he said unto another, Luke 9: 
"Follow me." But he said, ' Lord, suffer 59 " 62 ' 
mo first to go and bury my father. 'Jesus said unto 
iiim, " Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou 
and preach the kingdom of God-" And another 
also said, ' Lord, I will follow thee ; but let me 
first go bid them farewell, which are at home at 
my house/ And Jesus said unto him, " No man, 
having put his hand to the plough, and looking 
back is fit for the kingdom of God." 

And when he was entered into a ship, Matt. 8: 
his disciples followed him. And, behold, 23-27. 
there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch 
Mi at the ship was covered with the waves: but he 
was asleep. And his disciples came to him. and 
invoke him, saying. 'Lord, save us: we perish.' 
And hs sr.itb unto them, "Why are ye fearful,

ye of little faith?" Then he arose, and rebuked 
the wind and the sea; and there was a great calm. 
But the men marvelled, saying, ' What manner oi 
man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey 
him !' 

And they arrived at the country of 
Luke 8: the Gadarenes, which is over against 
2656 Galilee, And when he went forth to 
He hath but land, there met him out of the city, a 
time? rt certain man, which had devils long time, 
Bev. 12:12 and ware no clothes, neither abode in 
any house, but in the tombs. When he 
saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, 
and with a loud voice said, ' What have I to do 
with thee, Jesusi, thou Son of God most high? I 
beseech thee, torment me not/ (For he had com- 
manded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. 
For off tentimes it had caught him : and he was kept 
bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake 
the bands, and was driven of the devil into the 
wilderness.) And Jesus asked him, saying, " What 
is thy name?" And he said, 'Legion:' because 
many devils were entered into him. And they 
besought him that he would not command them to 
go out into- the deep. And there was there an 
herd of many swine feeding on the mountain : and 
they besought him that he would suffer them to 
enter into them. And he suffered them. Then 
went the devils out of the man, and entered into 
the swine : and the herd ran violently down a steep 
place into the lake, and were choked. When they 
that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and 
went and told it in the city and in the country- 
Then they went out to see what was done; and 
came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom 
the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of 
Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind : and they 



THE GREEN GLENS OF GALILEE 73 

were afraid. They also which saw it told them by 
what means he that was possessed of the devils was 
healed. 

Then the whole multitude of the country of the 
Gadarenes round about besought him to depart 
from them ; for they were taken with great fear : 
and he went up into the ship, and returned back 
again. Now the man out of whom the devils were 
departed besought him that he might be with him : 
but Jesus sent him away, saying, " Return to thine 
own house, and shew how great things God hath 
done unto thee." And he went his way, and pub- 
lished throughout the whole city how great things 
Jesus had done unto him. And it came to pass, 
that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly 
received him : for they were all waiting for him. 

And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, 
and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell 
down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he 
would come into his house: for he had one only 
daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay 
a dying. But as he went the people thronged him 

And a woman having an issue of blood 
twelve years, which had spent all her living upon 
physicians, neither could be healed of any, cam? 
behind him, and touched the border of 
his garment: and immediately her issue ^"fs^r 
of blood stanched. And Jesus said, Aprons. 
" Who touched me?" When all denied, 
Peter and they that were with him said, ' Master, 
the multitude throng thee and press thee, and 
sayestthou, "Who touched me?" ' And Jesus said, 
" Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that 
virtue is gone out of me." And when the woman 
saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and 
falling down before him, she declared unto him 
before all the people for what cause she had 
touched him. and how she was healed immediately. 



74 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

And he said unto her, " Daughter, be of good com- 
fort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 7 ' 
While he yet spake, there cometh one from tli6 
ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, * Thy 
daughter is dead ; trouble not the Master/ But 
when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying 
"Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made 
whole." And when he came into the house, he 
suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, 
and John, and the father and the mother of the 
maiden. And all wept, and bewailed her: but' li€ 
said, "Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth." 

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing 
is it well that she was dead- And he put- them' 
child. all out, and took her by the hand, and 

2£iA0«4:26. called, saying, "Maid, arise." And her 

spirit came again, and she arose straight- 
way: and he commanded to give her meat. And 
her parents were astonished : but he charged them 
that they should tell no man what was done. 
Matt. 9: And when Jesu9 departed thence, two 
27-31. blind m en followed him, crying, and 
saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. And 
when he was come into the house, the blind men 
came to him : and Jesus saith unto them, Believe 
ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, 
Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, 
According to your faith be it unto you. And their 
eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, 
sayjng, See that no man knowit. Butthey,when they 
were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that 

country. And when he was come into 
Mat 13: his own country he taught them in 

their synagogue, insomuch that they 

T h o^rv, of were astonished, and said, i Whence 
Anatnoth . ' . 

seek thy hath this man this wisdom, and these 
h jer. 11:21. mighty works? Is not this the carpen- 
ter's son? is not his mother called Mary! 



THE GREEN GLENS OF GALILEE 75 

and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, 
and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with 
us? Whence then hath this man all these things?' 
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said 
unto them, "A prophet is not without honour save 
in his own country, and in his own house." And 
he did not many mighty works there because of 
their unbelief. And when he had called Matt# 
unto him his twelve disciples, he gave lOandiin 
them power against unclean spirits, to cast them 
out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all 
manner of disease. Now the names of the twelve 
apostles are these : The first, Simon, who is called 
Peter, and Andrew his brother ; James the son of 
Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bar- 
tholomew ; Thomas, and Matthew the publican ; 
James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose 
surname was Thaddseus; Simon the Canaanite, and 
Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 

These twelve Jesus sent forth and 
commanded them, saying, " Go not into Siing ery 
the way of the Gentiles, and into any there is 
city of the Samaritans enter ye not : but ecc^i' 
go rather to the lost sheep of the house 
of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, 
" The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, 
cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils : 
freely ye have received, freely give. Provide 
neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 
nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, 
neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is 
worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or 
town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; 
and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye 
come into an house, salute it. And if the house 
be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it 
be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And 
whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear youi

words, when ye depart out of that house or city, 
shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto 
yon, It shall be more tolerable for the land of 
Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than 
for that city." 

" Beheld, I send you forth as sheep in the midst 
of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and 
harmless as doves. But beware of men : 
Then Pash- ^ or they w iU deliver you u^ to the coun- 
hur smote cils, and they will scourge you in theii

for a testimony against them and the 
Gentiles. But when they deliver you 
up, take no> thought how or what ye shall speak : 
for it shall be given you in that same hour what 
ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but 
the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 
And the brother shall deliver up the brother to 
death, and the father the child : and the children 
shall rise up against their parents, and cause them 
to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all 
men for my name's sake : but he that endureth to 
the end shall be saved. But when they persecute 
you in this city, flee ye into another : for verily I 
say unto you, ' Ye shall not have gone over the 
cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.' The 
disciple is not above his master, nor the 
servant above his lord. It is enough for 
finedVnh ^ ne disciple that he be as" his master, 
new wine, and the servant as his lord- If they 
have called the master of the house Beel- 
zebub, how much more shall they call 
chem of his household?" 

"Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing 
covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that 
shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, 
that speak ye in light: and what ve hear in tb$

78 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in 
the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he 
shall in no wise lose his reward." And it came to 
pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding 
his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach 
Matt. 14: an d to preach in their cities. At that 
i- 1 ** time Herod the tetrarch [of Galilee and 

Perea] heard of the fame of Jesus, and said unto 
nis servants, ' This is John the Baptist ; he is risen 
from the dead; and therefore mighty works do 
cshew forth themselves in him.' For Herod had 
laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him 
in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother 
godsdo h to Philip' 8 w ^ e - F° r John said unto him, 
me. ' It is not lawful for thee to have her/ 

liri i9*:22 And when he would have put him to 
death, he feared the multitude, because 
they counted him as a prophet. But when 
Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Hero- 
dias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her 
whatsoever she would ask. And she, being before 
instructed of her mother, said, 'Give me here John 
Baptist's head in a charger.' And the king was 
sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them 
which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to 
be given her. And he sent, and beheaded John in 
the prison. And his head was brought in a 
charger, and given to the damsel : and she brought 
it to her mother. And his disciples came, and 
took up the body, and buried it, and went and told 
Jesus. When Jesus heard of it, he departed 
thence by ship into a desert place apart : and when 
the people had heard thereof, they followed him on 
foot out of the cities. And Jesus went forth, and 
saw a great multitude, and was moved with com- 
passion toward. them, and he healed their sick« 
And the passover, a feast of the Jews,

was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up John 6: 
his eyes, and saw a great company come *' 18# 
unto him, he saith unto Philip, " Whence shall we 
buy bread, that these may eat?" And this he said 
to prove him : for he himself knew what 
he would do. Philip answered him, 
' Two hundred pennyworth of bread is fhis'beforT 
not sufficient for them, that every one an hundred 
of them may take a little.' One of his Tmngs 4 .• 43 
disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's 
brother, saith unto him, 'There is a 
lad here which hath five barley loaves, and two 
small fishes: but what are they among so many'?' 
And Jesus said, " Make the men sit down/' Now 
there was much grass in the place. So the men 
sat down, in number about fiye thousand. And 
Jesus too& the loaves; and when he had given 
thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the 
disciples to them that were set down, and likewise 
of the fishes as much as they w r ould. When they 
w T ere filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up 
the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 
Therefore they gathered them together, and filled 
twelve baskets with the fragments of the five 
barley loaves, which remained over and above unto 
them that had eaten. Then those men, when they 
had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, ' This is 
of a truth that prophet that should come into the 
world.' When Jesus therefore perceived that they 
would come and take him by force, to make him a 
king, he straightway constrained his disciples to 
get into a ship, and to go before him Mattli: 
unto the other side, while he sent the 22 " 23 
multitudes away. And when he had sent the 
multitudes away, he went up into a mountain 
Apart to pray : and when the evening was come, he 
was there alone. But the ship was now in the 
midst of the sea, tossed with waves : for the wind 



gO THE MAN OF GALILEE 

was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the 

night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 

And when the disciples saw him walking on the 

sea, they were troubled, saying, ' It ig a spirit ; ' 

and they cried out for fear. But straightway 

Jesus spake unto them, saying, " Be of good cheer ; 

it is I; be not afraid." And Peter 

answered him and said, i Lord, if it be 

prov^but thou, bid me come unto thee on the 

this once, water.' And he said, " Come." And 

when Peter was come down out of the 

ship, he walked on the water, fed go to 

Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he 

was afraid ; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, 

1 Lord, save me.' And immediately Jesus 

stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said 

unto him, " O thou of little faith, wherefore didst 

thou doubt?" And when they were come into the 

ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the 

ship came and worshipped him, saying, * Of a 

truth thou art the Son of God/

^^^HE day following, when the 
i people which stood on the other 6 ^"i 

^1^ side of the sea saw that 

there was none other boat there, 
save that one whereinto his disciple?* were 
entered, and that Jesus went not with his 
disciples into the boat, but that his dis- 
ciples were gone away alone ; (howbeit there came 
other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place 
where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had 
given thanks :) when the people therefore saw that 
Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also 
took shipping, and came to Canoria^im, seeking 
for Jesus. And w T hen they had found him on the 
other side of the sea, they said unto him, ' Rabbi, 
when earnest thou hither?' Jesus answered th^m 
and said, " Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
Ye seek me. not because ye saw the Give me

the meat which perisheth, but for that 
meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which 
the Son of man shall sdve unto you : for him hath 
God the Father sealed." Then said they unto him, 
i What shall we do, that we might work the works 
of God 1 ?' Jesus answered and said unto them, 
" This is the work of God, that ye believe on him 
whom he hath sent." They said therefore unto 
him, ' What sign shewet> thou then, that we may 

83 



84 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? Our 

fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is 

written, He gave them bread from Heaven to eat.' 

Then Jesus said unto them, " Verily, verily, I say 

unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from 

heaven ; but my Father giveth yon the true bread 

from heaven. For the bread of God is he which 

cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto 

the world." Then said they unto him, ' Lord, 

evermore give us this bread/ And Jesus said unto 

them, •« I am tlie bread of life : he that cometh to 

me shall never hunger ; and he that believeth on 

me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That 

ye also have seen me, and believe not- All that 

the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him 

that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For 

I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, 

but the will of him that sent me. And this is the 

Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which 

he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should 

raise it up again at the last day. And this is the 

will of him that sent me, that every one which 

seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have 

everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last 

day." The Jews then murmured at him, because 

he said, " I am the bread which came down from 

heaven." And they said, ' Is not this Jesus, the 

son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know ? 

how is it then that he saith, I came down from 

heaven' ? Jesus therefore answered and said unto 

them, " Murmur not among yourselves. No man 

can come to me, except the Father which hath sent 

me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last 

day. It is written in the prophets, And they 

Shall be all taught of God. Every man there* 

fore that hath heard, and hath learned of tha 

Father, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath 

seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath

seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
He that beheveth on me hath everlasting life. I 
am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna 
in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread 
which cometh down from heaven, that a man may 
eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread 
which came down from heaven : if any man eat 
of this bread, he shall live for ever : and the bread 
that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for 
the life of the world." The Jews therefore strove 
among themselves, saying ' How can this man give 
us his flesh to eat?' Then Jesus said unto them, 
" Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat 
the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, 
ye have no life in you. Who eateth my flesh, 
and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life ; and I 
will raise him up at the last day- For my flesh is 
meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He 
that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwell- 
eth in me, and I in him. As the living Father 
hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that 
eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that 
bread which came down from heaven : not as your 
fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that 
eateth of this bread shall live for ever." These 
things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in 
Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, 
when they had heard this, said, ' This is an hard 
saying; who can hear it?' When Jesus knew in 
himse]f that his disciples murmured at it, he said 
unto them, " Doth this offend you? What and if 
ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he 
was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth ; the 
flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak 
unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Put 
there are some of you that believe not/' For 
Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that 
believed not, and who should betray him. And he 



86 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

said, " Therefore said I unto you, that no man can 

come unto me, except it were given unto him of 

my Father." From that time many 

Siftsd as of his disciples went back, and walked 

1 L?f&e t 23.3i no more with him. Then said Jesus 

unto the twelve, "Will ye also go away V 

Then Simon Peter answered him, ' Lord 

to whom shall wo go? thou hast the words of 

eternal life. And we believe and are sure that 

thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.' 

Jesrus answered them, " Have not I chosen you 

twelve, and one of you is a devil ?" He spake of 

Judas Iscariot the son of Simon : for he it was 

that should betray him, being one of the twelve. 

Then came tc Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which 
were of Jerusalem, saying, 'Why do thy 
Matt is. disciples transgress the tradition of the 
Thou shait elders? for they wash not their hands 
"hereto. when tliey eat bread/ But he answered 
Deut 12.32. and said unto them, "Why do ye also 
transgress the commandment of God by 
your tradition ? For God commanded, saying . 
Honour thy father and mother : and, He that 
curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or 
his mother, It is a gift [to God] by whatsoever 
thou mightest be profited by me ; and honour not 
his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have 
ye made the commandment of God of none effect

prophecy of you, saying, This people drawing nigh 
unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with 
their lips; but their heart is far from me. But 
in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines 
the commandments of men." 

And he called the multitude, and said

unto them, li Hear and understand : ¥ e i at k B » 
Not that which goeth into the mouth do- divers' 
fileth a man; but that which cometh SS^f'"' 
out of the mouth, thi9 defileth a man." ordinance. 
Then came his disciples and said unto 
him, ' Knoweth thou that the Pharisees were 
offended, after they heard this saying?' But he 
answered and said, '* Every plant, which my 
heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted 
up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of 
the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both 
shall fall into the ditch. Then answered Peter 
and said unto him, ' Declare unto us this parable.' 
And Jesus said, " Are ye also yet without under- 
standing? Do not ye yet understand, that what- 
soever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the 
belly, and is cast out into the drought? But 
those things which proceed out of the mouth come 
forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, mur- 
ders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, 
blasphemies : These are the things which defile a 
man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth 
not a man." 

Then Jesus went thence, and departed 7 etth £ e Ji? 
into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon a f e iL^ 
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came 17:8 
out of the same coasts, and cried unto 
him, saying, ' Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou 
son of David ; my daughter is grievously vexed 
with a devil.' But he answered her not a word. 
And his disciples came and besought him, saying, 
' Send her away : for she crieth after us.' But he 
answered and said, " I am not sent but unto the 
lost sheep of the house of Israel " Then came 
she and worshipped him, saying, ' Lord, help me.' 
But he answered and said, " It is not meet to take 



B8 THE MA^ OF GALILEE 

the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs-" And 
she said, ' Truth, Lord : yet the dogs eat of the 
crumbs which fall from their masters' table.' Then 
Jesus answered and said unto her, " O woman, 
great is thy faith : be it unto thee even as thou 
wilt." And her daughter was made whole from 
that very hour. And Jesus departed from thence, 
and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and 
went up into % mountain, and sat down there 
And great multitudes came unto him, having with 
them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed 
and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' 
feet ; and he healed them : Insomuch that the 
multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to 
speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, 
and the blind to see: and they glorified the God 
of Israel.

his disciples say unto him, ' Whence should we 
have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so 
great a multitude?' And Jesus saith unto them, 
" How many loaves have ye 5" And they said, 
' Seven, and a few little fishes.' And he com- 
manded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and 
gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his dis- 
ciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And 
they did all eat and were filled : and they took vm 
of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. 
And they that did eat were four thousand men, 
besides women -and children. And he sent away 
the multitude, and took ship and came into the 
coasts of Magdala. The Pharisees also

desired him that he would shew them a

said unto them, " When it is evening, ye thunder

is red. And in the morning, it will be is«*.u:ia 
foul weather to day : for the sky is red and 
lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face 
of the sky ; but can ye not discern the signs of 
the times? A wicked and adulterous generation 
seeketh after a sign ; and there shall no sign be 
given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas-" 
And he left them, and departed. 

And when his disciples were come to the other 
side they had forgotten to take bread. Then 
Jesus said unto them, " Take heed and False

and of the Sadducees/' And they brought in. 
reasoned among themselves, saying, ' It GaL x : 4

Jesus perceived, he said unto them, " O ye of little 
faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye 
have brought no bread ? Do ye not yet under- 
stand, neither remember the five loaves of the five 
thousand, and how many baskets ye took up \ 
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand,

concerning bread, that ye should be beware of the 
leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 
Ihen understood they how that he bade 
them not beware of the leaven of bread, but 
of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the 
Sadducees.

" Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona : for

but my Father which is in heaven. And I say 

also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this 

rock I will build my church ; and the gates of

unto' thee the keys of the kingdom -of heaven: and 

whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall 

be bound in heaven, and whatsoever thou 

^halt loose on earth shall be loosed in 

heaven/' Then charged he his disciples 

that they should tell no man that liei was Jesus 

the Christ. 

From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto 

Ms discioles, how that he must go unto Jerusalem. 

and suffer many things of the elders and chief 

priests ?nd scribes, and be killed, and be raised 

again the third day. Then Peter took him and 

began to rebuke him, saying, ' Be it far from thee, 



THE FAR NORTH 91 

Lord : this shall not be unto thee.' But he 
turned and said unto Peter, "Get thee behind me, 
Satan : thou art an offence unto me : for thou 
savourest not the things that be of God, but those 
that be of men." Then said Jesus unto his dis- 
ciples, " If any man will come after me, let him 
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow 
me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it : 
and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall 
find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall 
gain the whole world, and lose his own soul ? or 
what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed 
of me and of my words in this adulterous 
and sinful generation ; of him also shall the Son 
of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory 
§rf his Father with the holy angels, and then he 
shall reward every man according to his w^orks. 
Verily I say unto you. There be some standing 
here, which shall not taste of death, till they see 
the Son of man coming in his kingdom." 

And after six days Jesus taketh Peter 
James, and John his brother, and 
bringeth them up into an high mountian apart to 
pray. And as he was praying he Y/as 
transfigured before them: and his face See 28 L _3 6 k . e 9 
did shine as the sun, and his raiment 
was white as the light. And, behold, there 
appeared unto them Moses and Elias who appeared 
in glory, and spake of his decease which Luke9: 
he should accomplish at Jerusalem. But 31 " 33, 
Peter and they that were with him were heavy 
with sleep : and when they were awake, they saw 
his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, 
Peter said unto Jesus, 'Master, it is Mark 9 . 5 ^ 13 
good for us to be here : and let us make 
three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, 



92 THE MAIM OF GALILEE 

and one for Elias.' For he wist not what to say : 
for they were sore afraid. And there was a cloud 
that overshadowed them : and a voice came out 
of the cloud, saying, This is My belotred Son, 
hear Him. And suddenly, when they had looked 
round about, they saw no man any morie, save 
Jesus only with themselves. And as they 
came down from the mountain, he charged 
them that they should tell no man what things 
they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from 
the dead. And they kept that saying with them- 
selves, questioning one with another what the 
rising from the dead should mean. 

And they asked him, saying, i Why say the 
scribes that Elizas must first come?' And he 
answered and told them, " Elias verily cometh 
first, and restoreth all things; and how it is writ- 
ten of the Son of man, that he must suffer many 
things, and be set at nought. But I say unto 
you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done 
unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written 
of him. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer 
of them." Then the disciples understood that he 
spake unto them of John the Baptist. 
Matt. 17: And when they were come to the 

14-27. multitude, there came to him a certain 
man, kneeling down to him and saying, ' Lord 
have mercy on my son : for he is lunatic, and 
sore vexed : for of t times he f alleth into the fire, 
and oft into the water. And I brought him to 
thy disciples, and they could not cure him.' Then 
Jesus answered and said, " O faithless and perverse 
generation, how long shall I be with you? how 
long shall I suffer you ? bring him hither 
know. to me." And Jesus rebuked the devil ; 

Acts 19 1 15. anc j k e departed out of him: and the 
child was cured from that very hour. Then came 
the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, ' Why 



THE FAR NORTH 93 

could not we cast him out?' And Jesus said 
unto them, " Because of your unbelief : for verily 
I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of 
mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, 
Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall re- 
move ; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer 
and fasting." 

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said 
unto them, " The Son of man shall be betrayed 
into the hands of men: and they shall kill him, 
and the third day he shall be raised again. " And 
they were exceeding sorry. 

And when they were come to 
Capernaum, they that received tribute a ransom 

t) a. j -j ( t\ u for his soul, 

money came to .Peter, and said, Doth Exod. 30:12 

not your master pay tribute?' He saith, 

' Yes/ And when he was come into the house, 

Jesus prevented him, saying, " What thinkesh 

thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth 

take custom or tribute? of their own children, or 

of strangers?" Peter saith unto him, ' Of 

strangers/ Jesus saith unto him, " Then are the 

children free. Notwithstanding, lest we should 

offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, 

and take up the fish, that first cometh up; and 

when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find 

a piece of money : that take, and give unto them 

for me and thee." At the same time Matt. 18: 

came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, 

'Who is the greatest in the kingdom of 

heaven ? ' And Jesus called a little child unto 

him, and set him in the midst of them. And 

said, "Verily I say unto- you, Except L1k ^ n a d 

ye be converted, and become as little child. 

children, ye shall not enter into the Pia " 13X ' 2 

kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall 

humble himself as this little child, the same is

greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso 
shall receive one such little child in my name re- 
ceiveth me, and whosoever shall receive me, re- 
ceiveth not me, but him that sent me. But whoso 
shall offend one of these little ones which believe in 
me, it were better for him that a millstone were 
hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned 
in the depth of the sea." 

Mark 9 : And John answered him saying, 

38-41. < Master, we saw one casting out devils 
in thy name, and he followeth not us : and we for- 
bad him, because he followeth not us/ But Jesus 
said, "Forbid him not: For there is no

judg*» 4 : name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 
For he that is not against us is on our 
part. For whosoever shall give you a cup of 
water to drink in my name, because ye belong to 
Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his 
reward."

little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven 
their angels do always behold the face of my 
Father which is in heaven- For the Son of man is 
come to save that which was lost. How think 
ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of

seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so he 
that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth 
more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine 
which went not astray. Even so it is not the will 
of your Father which ia in heaven, that one of 
these little ones should perish. " 

"Moreover if thy brother shall tres- Matt# 8j 
pass against thee, go and tell him his 15-21.: 
fault between thee and him alone : if he shall heai 
thee, thou hast gained they brother. 
But if he will not hear thee, then take Admonish 
with thee one or two more, that in the brotherf 
mouth of two or three witnesses every tThes.3: 15 
word may be established. And if he 
shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church : 
but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be 
unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind 
on earth shall be bound in heaven : and whatso- 
ever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in 
heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you 
shall agree on earth as touching any thing that 
they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my 
Father which is in heaven. For where two or 
three are gathered together in my name there am 
I in the midst of them." 

Then came Peter to him, and said, Matt. 18 : 21. 
' Lord, how oft shall my brother sm 1 will slay 
against me, and I forgive him ? till seven ™y brotiier 
times V Jemia saith unto him, "I say not Gen^u 27 : 
unto thee, 'Until seven times: but, 36 " 41, 
Until seventy timea seven/ Therefore is the 
kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, 
which would take account of his servants. And 
when he had begun to reckon, one was brought 
unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents, 



96 THE MAN OF GALILEE , 

But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord com- 
manded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, 
and all that he had, and payment to be made. The 
servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, 
saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will 
pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was 
moved with compassion, and loosed him, and for- 
gave him the debt. But the same servant went 
out, and found one of his fellowservants, which 
owed him an hundred pence*, and he laid hands 
on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay 
me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell 
down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have 
patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And 
he would not: but went and cast him into 
prison, till he should pay the debt- So when his 
fellowservants saw what was done, they were very 
sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that 
was done. Then his lord, after that he had called 
him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I for- 
gave thee all that debt, because thou desrredst 
me: Shouldest not thou also* have had compassion 
on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the 
tormentors, till he should pay all that was due 
unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father 
do also unto you, if ye from your' hearts forgive 
not every one his brother their trespasses."

OW the Jews' feast of taber- 



nacles was at hand. His breth- 
ren therefore said unto him, l De- 
part hence, and go into Judaea, 
that thy disciples also may see the works 
that thou doest. For there is no man 
that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself 
seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these 
things, shew thyself to the world.' For neither 
did his brethren believe in him. Then Jesus said 
unto them, " My time is not yet come: but your 
time is alway ready. The world cannot hate you ; 
but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the 
works thereof are evil. Go ye up unto 
this feast; I go not up yet unto this feast, 
for my time is not yet full come." When he had 
said these words unto* them, he abode still in 
Galilee. But when his brethren were gone up, 
then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, 
but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought 
him at the feast, and said, ' Where is he?' And 
there was much murmuring among the people con- 
cerning him : for some said, l He is a good man.' 
others said, 'Nay; but he deceiveth the people/ 
Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of

Unlearned taught- And the Jews marvelled, say- 
and ing, ' How knoweth this man letters, 

Acts™-!*, having never learned?' Jesus answered 
them, and said, " My doctrine is not 
mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do 
his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it 
be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that 
speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he 
that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is 
true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not 
Moses give you the law, and yet none of you 
keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me-" 
The people answered and said, i Thou hast a devil : 
who goeth about to kill thee?' Jesus answered 
and said unto them, " I have done one work, and 
ye all marvel. Moses therefore gave unto you 
circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of 
the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circum- 
cise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receive 
circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be 
broken ; are ye angry at me, because I have made 
a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? 
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge 
righteous judgment." Then said some of them of 
Jerusalem, ' Is not this he, whom they seek to 
kill? But, lo', he? speaketh boldly, and they say 
nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed 
that this is the very Christ? Howbeit we know 
this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, 
no man knoweth whence he is/ Then cried Jesus 
-*n the temple as he taught, saying, " Ye both 
know me, and ye know whence I am : and I am 
not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, 
whom ye know not. But I know him : For I am 
from him, and he hath sent me." Then they 
sought to take him: but no mam laid hands on 
him, because his hour was not yet come. 
And many of the people believed on him, 



THE JERUSALEM MINISTRY 101 

and said, ' When Christ cometh, will he £*™/ wlth 

do more miracles than these which this ail the 
man hath done?' ^ P 2 le *47. 

The Pharisees heard that the people j hn7: 
murmured such things concerning him ; ^-^ 
and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers 
to take him. Then said Jesus unto them, " Yet 
a little while am I with you, and then I go unto 
him that sent me. Ye shall seek me, and shall not 
find me : and where I am thither ye cannot come." 
Then said the Jews among themselves, ' Whither 
will he go, that we shall not find him ? will he go 
unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach 
the Gentiles? What manner of saying is this that 
he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: 
and where I am, thither ye cannot come?" 

In the last day, that great day of the feast 
Jesus stood and cried, saying, " If any 
man thirst, let him come unto me, and ^ 1 e 1 ° e s d# 
drink. He that believeth on me, as the Acts 19 : i. 
scripture hath said, out of his belly shall 
flow rivers of living water." (But this spake he 
of the Spirit, which they that believe on him 
should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet 
given; because that Jesu& was not yet glorified.) 
Many of the people therefore, when they heard 
this saying, said, ' Of a truth this is the Prophet-' 
Others said, 'This is the Christ/ But some said, 
' Shall Christ come out of Galilee ? Hath not the 
scripture said, that Christ cometh of the seed of 
David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where 
David was?' So there was a division among the 
people because of him. And some of them would 
have taken him ; but no man laid hands on him. 

Then came the officers to the chief priests and 
Pharisees ; and they said unto them, ' Why have 
ye not brought him?' The officers answered, 
Never man spake like this man.' Then answered 



102 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

them the Pharisees, ' Are ye also deceived ? Have 
any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on 
him? But this people who knoweth not the law 
are cursed/ Nicodemus saith unto them (he that 
came to Jesua by night, being one of them), * Doth

J i£20? : Then spake Jesus again unto them, 

saying, " I am the light of the world: 
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, 
but shall have the light of life/' The Pharisees 
therefore said unto him, ' Thou bearest record of 
thyself; thy record is not true.' Jesus answered 
and said unto them, " Though I bear record of 
myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence 
I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell 
whence I come and whither I go. Ye judge after 
the flesh. I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my 
judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and 
the father that sent me. It is also written in 
your law, the testimony of two men is true. I am 
one that bear witness of myself, and the Father 
that sent me beareth witness of me. Then said 
they unto him, 'Where is thy Father?' Jesus 
answered, " Ye neither know me, nor my Father : 
if ye had known me, ye should have known my 
Father also." These words spake Jesus in the 
treasury, as he taught in the temple : and no man 
laid hands on him ; for his hour was not yet come. 
John 8: 21. Then said Jesus again unto them, "I 
go my way, and ye< shall seek me, and 
guff fixed, shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye 
iufc«i6:26 cannot come." Then said the Jews, 
1 Will he kill himself?' because he saith. Whither 
I go, ye cannot come/ And he said untft them, 



THE JERUSALEM MINISTRY 103 

" Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are 
of this world ; I am not of this world. I said 
therefore unto yon, that ye shall die in your sins: 
for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in 
your sins." Then said they unto him, ' Who art 
thou?' And Jesus saith unto them, " Even the 
same that I said unto you from the beginning. I 
have many things to say and to judge of you : but 
he that sent me is true ; and I speak to the world 
those things which I have heard of him." They 
understood not that he spake to them of the 
Father. Then said Jesus unto them, " When ye 
have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know 
that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; 
but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these 
things. And he that sent me is with me : the 
Father hath not left me alone; for I do always 
those things that please him." As he spake these 
words many believed on him. 

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on 
him, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my 
disciples indeed ; and ye shall know the truth, and 
the truth shall make you free." They answered 
him, ' We be Abraham's seed, and were never in 
bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Y T e shall 
be made free?' Jesus answered them, "Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commiteth sin 
is the servant of sin. And the servant Freefrom 
abideth not in the house for ever: but sin. 
the Son abideth ever. If the Son there- Rom - 6 : ]8 
fore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 
I know that ye are Abraham's seed ; but ye seek 
to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: 
and ye do that which ye have seen with your 
father." They answered and said unto him, 'Abra- 
ham is our father.' Jesus saith unto them, " If 
ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works 



104 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

of Abraham- But now ye seek to kill me, a man 
that hath told you the truth, which I have heard 
of God : this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds 
of your father." Then sard they to him, ' We be 
not born of fornication; we have pne Father, even 
God.' Jesus said unto them, " If God were your 
Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth 
and came from God ; neither came I of myself, but 
he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech ? 
even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of 

your father the devil, and the lusts of 
He that your father ye will do. He was a mur-

me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin ? And 
if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me ? He 
that is of God hear eth God's words : ye therefore 
hear them not, because ye are not of God." Then 
answered the Jews and said unto him, ' Say we 
not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a 
devil V Jesus answered, " I have not a devil ; 
but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that 
seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto 
you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see 
death." Then said the Jews unto him, ' Now we 
know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead,

say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto } r ou . 
but I know him, and keep his saying. Your 
father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he 
saw it, and waa glad-" Then said the 
Jewa unto him, ' Thou art not yet fifty Greeted 
years old, and hast thou seen Abraham V Heb. 11 : li 
Jesus said unto them, " Verily, verily, 
I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." Then 
took they up stones to cast at him : but Jesus hid 
himself, and went out of the temple, going through 
the midst of them, and so passed by. And as 
Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was John 9:1# 
blind from his birth. And his disciples 
asked him, saying, l Master, who did sin, this man, 
or his parents, that he was born blind?' Jesus 
answered, " Neither hath this man sinned, nor his 
parents: but that the works of God 
should be made manifest in him. I not" receive 
must work the works of him that sent j Y J l 2. 10 
me, while it is day : the night cometh, 
when no man can work. As long as I am in the 
world, I am the light of the world." When he 
had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made 
clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of 
the blind man with the clay. And said unfco him, 
" Go, wash in the pool of Siloam," (which ia by 
interpretation, Sent.) He went his way there- 
fore, and washed, and came seeing. The neigh- 
bours therefore:, and they which before had seen 
him that he was blind, said, ' Is not this he that 
sat and begged?' Some said, ' This is he': others 
said, ' He is like him': but he said, 'I am he.' 
Therefore said they unto him, ' How were thine 
eyes opened?' He answered and said, 'A man

sight.' Then said they unto him, ' Where is he?' 
He said, ' I know not/ They brought to the 
Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it 
was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, 
and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees 
also asked hi'm how he had received his sight. He 
said unto them, ' He put clay upon mine eyes, and 
I washed and do see.' Therefore said some of the 
Pharisees, ' This man is not of God, because he 
keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, ' How 
can a man that is a sinner do such miracles V And 
there was a division among them. They say unto 
the blind man again, ' What sayest thou of him, 
that he hath opened thine eyes?' He said, ' He is. 
a prophet/ But the Jews did not believe con- 
cerning him, that he had been blind, and received 
his sight, until they called the parents of him that 
had received his sight. And they asked them, 
saying, ' Is this your son, who ye say was born 
blind? how then doth he now see?' His parents 
answered them and said, ' We know that this is 
our son, and that he was born blind : But by what 
means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath 
opened his eyes, ?v T e know not : he is 
of age ; ask him : he shall speak for him- 
self ? These words spake his parents, because they 
feared the Jews : for the Jews had agreed already, 
that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he 
should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore 
said his parents, ' He is of age; ask him.' 

c _ Then again called they the man that 
fession. was blind, and said unto him, ' Give 
Joshua 7: 19. Q-od the praise : we know that this man 
is a sinner/ He answered and said, ' Whether he 
be a sinner or no, I know not : one thing I know, 
that, whereas I was blind, now I see/ Then said 
they to him again, 'What did he to thee? how 
opened h$ thine eye®?' He answered them, ' I

have told you already, and ye did not hear: where- 
fore would ye hear it again? will ye also Joe his 
disciples?' Then they reviled him, and said, 
1 Thou art his disciple ; but we are Moses' 
disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses : 
as for this fellow, we know not from whence he 
is/ The man answered and said unto them, ' Why 
herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not 
from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine 
eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners : 
but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth 
his will, him he heareth. Since the world began 
was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of 
one that was born blind. If this man were not 
of God, he could do nothing.' They answered and 
said unto him, ' Thou wast altogether born in sins, 
an dost thou teach us?' And they cast him out. 

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and 
when he had found him, he said unto him, "Dost 
thou believe on the Son of God?" He answered 
and said, ' Who is he, Lord, that I might believe 
on him?' And Jesus said unto him, " Thou hast 
both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee." 
And he said, ' Lord, I believe.' And he wor- 
shipped him. And Jesus said, " For 

iudprrient I am come into this world, that £ rebel-

they which see not might see ; and that jEzek. 12 : 2 

they which see might be made blind-" 

And some of the Pharisees which were with him 

heard these words, and said unto- him, * Are we 

blind also V Jesus said unto them, " If ye* were 

blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye 

say, We see ; therefore your sin remaineth. 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

He that entereth not by the dcor Johnl0: 

into thee shepfold, but climbeth up some 

other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 

But be that entereth in by the door is the shep-

herd of tKe sheep. To him the porter openeth ; 
and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his 
awn sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And 
when ho putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth be- 
fore them, and the sheep follow him: for they 
know his voice. And a stranger will they not 
follow, but will flee from him : for they know not 
the voice of strangers." This parable spake Jesus 
unto them : but they understood not what 
things they were which he spake untc 
them. Then said Jesus unto them again, 
" Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door erf 
the sheep. All that ever came before me are 
thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear 
them. I am the door : by me if any man enter in, 
he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find 
pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, 
and to kill, and to destroy : I am come that they 
might have life, and that they might have it more 
abundantly. I am the good shepherd : the good 
shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he 
that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose 
own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and 
leaveth the sheep, and neeth : and the wolf 
catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The 
hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and 
careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, 
and know my sheep, and am known of mine. Ai 
the Father knoweth me, even so know I ths 
Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold * 
them also I must bring, and they shall hear my 
voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shep- 
herd. Therefore doth my Father love me, be- 
cause 1 lay down my life, that I might 
He made take it again- No man kaketh it from 
fi£l h 2 n : e i4. me, but I lay it down of myself. I have 
power to lay it down, and I b*v§ 



THE JERUSALEM MINISTRY 109 

power to take it again. This commandment 
have I received of my Father." 

There was a division therefore again among the 
Jews for these sayings. And many of them said 
' He hath a devil, and is mad ; why hear ye him V 
Others said, ' These are not the w r ords of him that 
hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind V 

And every man w T ent unto his own house. ,...«, 

-r J , r. John 7 : 53 

Jesus went unto the mount of w . m Q . 

r\T * i i«i • John 8: 

Olives. And early in the morning l-u. 

he came again into the temple, 
and all the people came unto him; and he sat 
down and taught them. And the scribes and 
Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in 
adultery; and w T hen they had set her in the 
midst, They say unto him, ' Master, this woman 
was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses 
in the law commanded us, that such Thou con- 
should be stoned : but what sayest thou V th^SS!* 
This they said, tempting him, that they Romans 2 : l, 
might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped 
down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as 
though he heard them not. So when they con- 
tinued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said 
unto them, " He that is without sin among you, let 
him first cast a stone at her." And again he 
stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And 
they which heard it, being convicted by their own 
conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the 
eldest, even unto the last : and Jesus was left alone, 
and the woman standing in the midst. When 
Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the 
woman, he said unto her, " Woman, where are 
those thine accusers ? hath no man condemned 
thee?" She said, ' No man, Lord.' And Jesus 
said unto her f "Neither do I condemn thee: go, 
and sin no more." And it was at Jeru- John 10: 
Salem the feast of the dedication, and 22 "* 2#

it was winter- And Jesus walked in the temple 
in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round 
about him, and said unto him, 'How long dost thou 
make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us 
plainly/ Jesus answered them, " I told you, and 
ye believed not: the w r orks that I do in my 
Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye 
believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I 
said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I 
know them, and they follow me : And I give unto 
them eternal life; and they shall never perish, 
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than 
all ; and no man is able to pluck them out of my 
Father's hand. I and my Father are one." Then 
the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus 
answered them, " Many good works have I shewed 
you from my Father; for which of those works do 
ye stone me?" The Jews answered him, saying, 
' For a good work we stone thee not ; but for blas- 
phemy; and because that thou, being a man, 
makest thyself God.' Jesus answered them, " Is 
it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Gods? 
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of 
God came, and the scripture cannot be broken ; 
say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, 
and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; be- 
cause I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not 
the works of my Father, believe me not. But if 
I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: 
that ye may know, and believe, that the Father 
is i'n me, and I in him." Therefore they sought 
again to take him : but he escaped out of their hands. 
And he went away again beyond Jordan into 
the place where John at first baptized ; and there 
he abode. And many resorted unto him, and said, 
1 John did no miracle : but all things that John 
spake of this man were true/ And many believed 
cm him there. 



CHAPTER VIII 

£be Jfar j£ast 

HXD it came to pass, when the Luke 9: 
time was come that he should 51-56. 
be received up, he stedfastly set his 
face to go to Jerusalem. And sent 
messengers before his face : and they went and 
entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make 
ready for him. And they did not receive him, 
because his face was as though he would go to 
Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and 
John saw this, they said, ' Lord, wilt thou that we 
command fire to come down from heaven, and 
consume them, even as Elias did ?' But he turned 
and rebuked them, and said, "Ye know not what 
manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is 
not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them/' 
And they went to another village. 

After these things the Lord appointed Luke 10: 
other seventy also, and sent them two I_l6 - 
and two before his face into every city and place. 
whither he himself would come. Therefore said 
he unto them, " The harvest truly is great, but the 
labourers are few ; pray ye therefore the Lord of 
the harvest, that he would send forth labourers 
into his harvest. Go your ways : behold I send you 
forth as lambs anion o- wolves. Carry neither 
purse nor scrip, nor shoes : and salute no man by 
the way. And in to whatsoever house ye enter, first 
say. Peace be to this house. And if the son of 
peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it : if not, 

113 I 



114 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

it shall turn to you again. And in the same house 
remain, eating and drinking such things as they 
give : for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go 
not from house to house. And into whatsoever 
city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things 
as are set before you : and heal the sick that are 
therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is 
come nigh unto you. But into whatsoever city ye 
enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out 
into the streets of the same, and say, Even the very 
dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe 
off against you : notwithstanding be ye sure of this, 
that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable 
in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Woe 
unto thee, Chorazin ! woe unto thee, Bethsaida I 
for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and 
Sidon, which have been done in you, they had 
a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and 
ashes. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and 
Sidon at the judgment, than for you. And thou, 
Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be 
thrust down to hell. He that heareth you heareth 
me ; and he that despiseth you despiseth me ; and 
he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me." 
And behold, a certain lawyer stood 
Luke 10 : up, and tempted him, saying, ' Master, 
what shall I do to inherit eternal life ? ' 
He said unto him, " What is written in the law? 
How readest thou ? " And he answering said, 
i Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy 
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy 
strength, and with all thy mind ; and thy neighbour 
as thyself/ And he said unto him, " Thou hast 
answered right : this do, and thou shalt live.'* But 
he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And 
who is my neighbour ? ' And Jesus answering 



THE FAR EAST 115 

said, " A certain man went down from 
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, 
which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded 
him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by 
chance there came down a certain priest that way . 
and when he saw him, he passed by on the other 
side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the 
place, came and looked on him, and passed by on 
the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he 
journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw 
him, he had compassion on him, and went to him, 
and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, 
and set him on his own beast, and brought him to 
an inn, and took eare of him. And on the morrow 
when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave 
them to the host, and said unto him, * Take care of 
him ; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I 
come again, I will repay thee/ Which Cl0thed thfk 
now of these three, thinkest thou, was naked. 
neighbour unto him that fell among the * Chron ' 28: 15 « 
thieves?" And he said, 'He that shewed mercy 
on him.' Then said Jesus unto him, " Go, and do 
thou likewise." 

Now it came to pass, as they went, Luke 10 . 
that he entered into a certain village : 38-42* " 
and a certain woman named Martha received 
him into her house. And she had a sister called 
Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard nig 
word. But Martha was cumbered about To behoW 
much serving, and came to him, and the beauty 
said, ' Lord, dost thou not care that my p sa im 27°-4. 
sister hath left me to serve alone ? 
Bid her therefore that she help me.' And Jesus 
answered and said unto her, " Martha, Martha, 
thou art careful and troubled about many things ■ 
But one thing is needful : and Mary hath chosen that 
good part, which shall not be taken away from her t H

And it came to pass, that, as he w<*,s 
u * : praying in a certain place, when he 

ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, 
teach us to pray, as John also taught his 
disciples. And he said unto them, " When ye 
prayC say, Our Father which art in heaven, 
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy 
will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us 
day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our 
gins ; for we also forgive every one that is indebted 
to us. And lead us not into temptation; but 
deliver us from evil. 

And he said unto them, Which of 
rhe Lord you shall have a friend, and shall go 
*niry. 0t b§ un ^° nmi a ^ midnight, and say unto him, 
&en. is : &. Friend, lend me three loaves ; for a

not : the door is now shut, and my children are 
with me in bed; I cannot rise and give. I say 
unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, 
because he is his friend, yet because of his impor- 
tunity he will rise and give him as many as he 
needeth. And 1 say unto you, " Ask, and it shall 
be given you ; seek, and ye shall find ; knock, and 
it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that 
a-sketh receiveth ; and he that seeketh findeth ; and 
to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son 
shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will 
he give him a stone ? or if he ask a fish, will he foi 
a fish give him a serpent ? Or if he shall ask an 
egg, wall he offer him a scorpion? If ye, then, 
being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your 
children : how much more shall your heavenly 
Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask 
him?"

And the seventy returned again 
with joy, saying, ' Lord, even the devils j£jj£ w 
are subject unto us through thy name.' LucIfer 80n 
And he said unto them, "I beheld Satan of the ' 
as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, ™*ahu':U

pents and scorpions, and over all the power of the 
enemy : and nothing shall by any means hurt you* 
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits 
are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because 
your names are written in heaven. " In that hour 
Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, "I thank thee, O 
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast 
hid these things from the wise and prudent, and 
hast revealed them unto babes : even so, Father ; 
for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are 
delivered to me of my Father : and no man 
knoweth who the son is, but the Father ; and who 
the Father is but the Son, and he to whom 
the Son will reveal him." And he turned 
him unto his disciples, and said privately, ™eis desire 
"Blessed are the eyes which see the *%*°° r V- n A°

Now a certain man was sick, 
named Lazarus, of Bethany the town of Mary 
and her sister Martha. (It was that Mary 
which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped 
his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was 
sick). Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, 
1 Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.' When 
Jesus heard that, he said, " This sickness is not 
unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son 
of God might be glorified thereby." Now Jesus 



118 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

ioved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When 
he had heard therefore that he was sick, 
returned to he abode two days still in the same 
i y t St z4*- 21 P^ ace where he was. Then after that saith 
he to his disciples, " Let us go into 
Judaea again." His disciples say unto him, * Master, 
the Jews of late sought to stone thee ; and goest 
thouthither again ? ' Jesus answered, " Are there 
not twelve hours in the day ? If any man walk in 
the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the 
light of this world. Bat if a man w T alk in the 
night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in 
him. ,; These things said he : and after that he 
saith unto them, " Our friend Lazarus sleepeth ; 
but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. * Then 
said his disciples, ' Lord, if he sleep, he shall do 
well.' Howbeit Jesus spake of his death : but they 
thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in 
sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, " Lazarus 
is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not 
there, to the intent ye may believe ; nevertheless lef 
us go unto him," Then said Thomas, which is called 
Didymus, unto his fellow-disciples, * Let us also go, 
ihat we may die with him.' 

Then when Jesus came, he found that he had 
Iain in the grave four days already. Now r Bethany 
was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs 
off: And many of the Jews came to Martha and 
Mary to comfort them concerning their brother. 
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was 
coming, went and met him ; but Mary sat still in 
the house. Then said Martha unto Jesus, 'Lord, 
if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 
But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt 
ask of God, God will give it thee.' Jesus saith unto 
her, " Thy brother shall rise again." Martha 
saith unto him. ' I know that he shall rise

again in the resurrection at the last S%nS!i < 8fc ttl 
day.' Jesus said unto her, " I am the life. 
resurrection, and the life: he that mh7il€ - 
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he 
live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me 
shall never die. Believeth thou this? " She saith 
unto him, ' Yea, Lord : I believe that thou art the 
Christ,' the Son of God, which should come into the 
world.' 

And when she had so said, she went her way, and 
called Mary her sister secretly, saying, * The Master 
is come, and calleth for thee.' As soon as she 
heard that, she arose quickly and came unto him. 
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but wag 
in that place where Martha met him. The Jews 
then which were with her in the house, and com- 
forted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up 
hastily and w^ent out, followed her, saying, ' She 
goeth unto the grave to weep there.' Then when 
Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she 
fell down at his feet, saying unto him, 'Lord, if 
thou hadst been here, # my brother had not died/ 
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the 
Jews also weeping which came with her, he 
groaned in the spirit and was troubled. And said, 
" Where have ye laid him ? " They said unto him, 
1 Lord, come and see/ Jesus wept. Then said the 
Jews, 'Behold how he loved him P And some of 
them said, ' Could not this man, which opened the 
eyes of the blind have caused that even this man 
should not have died?' 

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh 
to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon 
it. Jesus said, " Take ye away the stone." Martha, 
the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, 
1 Lord, by this time he stinketh : for he hath been 
dead four days.' Jesus saith unto her, " Said I 



120 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

not unto thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou 
shouldest see the glory of God ? " Then they took 
away the stone from the place where the dead was 
laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, 
" Father, I thank thee that thou has heard me. 
And I knfcw that thou hearest me always: but 
because of the people which stand by I said it, that 
they may believe that thou has sent me." And 
when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud 
voice, " Lazarus, come forth." And he that was 
dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave- 
clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. 
Jesus saith unto them, " Loose him and let him go." 
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, 
Pharaoh's and had seen the things which Jesus 
hardened! did, believed on him. But some of 
Exod. 7 : 13. them went their ways to the Pharisees, 
and told them what things Jesus had done. 

John n : Then gathered the chief priests and 

47-54. the Pharisees a council, and said, 

' What do we ? for this man doeth many miracles. 
If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on 
him : and the Eomans shall come and take away 
both our place and nation.' And one of them, 
named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same 
year, said unto them, ' Ye know nothing at all, nor 

consider that it is expedient for us, that 
so a n** I Bcor, e one man should die for the people, and 
saith. that the whole nation perish not.' And 

this spake he not of himself : but being 
high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus 
should die for that nation ; and not for that nation 
only, but that also he should gather together in 
one the children of God that were scattered abroad. 
Then from that day forth they took counsel togeth 
for to put him to death. 



THE FAR EAST 121 

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among 
the Jews ; but went thence unto a country near to 
the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and 
there continued with his disciples, by the farther 
side of Jordan : and the people resort Mark 1Q . t 
unto him again ; and, as he was wont, 
he taught them again; and he healed Matt ' 19:2 » 
them there. 

And he was teaching in one of the Luke is : 
synagogues on the sabbath. And, 10 " 21 * 
behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of 
infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, 
and could in no wise lift up herself. TheLord 
And when Jesus saw her, he called her heaieth thee. 
to him, and said unto her, " Woman, JExl ^ :36 - 
thou art loosed from thine infirmity.'' And he laid 
his hands on her : and immediately she was made 
straight and glorified God. And the ruler of the 
synagogue answered with indignation, because that 
Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto 
the people, ■ There are six days in which men ought 
to work: in them therefore come and be healed, 
and not on the sabbath day.' The Lord then 
answered him, and said, " Thou hypocrite, doth not 
each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his 
ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering ? 
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of 
Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these 
eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the 
sabbath day ? " And when he had said these things, 
all his adversaries were ashamed : and all the people 
rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done 
by him. Then said he, " Unto what is the king- 
dom of God like ? and whereunto shall I resemble 
it ? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a 
man took, and cast into his garden ; and it grew, 
and waxed a great tree ; and the fowls of the air 



122 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

lodged in the branches of it." And again he said, 

"Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God ? Ifc 

is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three 

measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. " 

Luke 13 : x\nd he went through the cities and 

10-83. villages, teaching, and journeying 

S h th*e? that toward Jerusalem. Then said one 

John 21 : 22. U nto him, ' Lord, are there few that be 

saved ? ' And he said u$to them, " Strive to enter 

in at the strait gate : for many, I gay unto you will 

peek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once 

the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut 

to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to 

knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto 

us ; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know 

you not whence ye are : Then shall ye begin to 

say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and 

thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say 

I tell you, I know you not whence ye are ; depart 

from me all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be 

weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see 

Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the 

prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves 

ihrust out. And they shall come from the east. 

and from the west, and from the north, and from 

the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of 

God. And, behold, there are last which shall be 

first, and there are first which shall be last." 

Perfect The same day there came certain ol 

suffering. the Pharisees, saying unto him, 4 Gef; 

Heb. 2 : io. thee out, and depart hence : for Herod 

will kill thee.' And he said unto them, " Go 

ye, and tell that fox, Behold I cast out devils, and 

I do cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day 

1 shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk to 

day, and to morrow, and the day following : for il 

cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, 
and stouest them that are sent unto thee ; how 
often would I have gathered thy children together, 
as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, 
and ye would not ! Behold, your house is left unto 
you desolate : and verily I say unto you, Ye shall 
not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, 
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." 

And it came to pass, as he went into L 
the house of one of the chief Pharisees 
to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched 
him. And, behold, there was a certain man before 
him which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering 
spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, " Is 
it lawful to heal on the sabbath day ? " And they 
held their peace. And he took him, and healed 
him and let him go ; and answered them, saying, 
11 Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen 
into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on 
the sabbath day ? " And they could not answer 
him again to these things. 

And he put forth a parable to those which were 
bidden, when he marked how they chose out the 
chief rooms; saying unto them, " When thou art 
bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in 
the highest room ; lest a more honourable man 
than thou be bidden of him ; And he that bade 
thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man 
place ; and thou begin with shame to take the 
lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and 
sit down in the lowest room ; that when 
he that bade thee cometh, he may say Sit nnder 

,, tt, . -. i . i J ,i my footstool. 

unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then james2:3. 
shalt thou have worship in the presence 
of them that sit at meat with thee. For whosoever 
exalteth himself shall be abased ; and he that 
humbleth himself shall be exalted.' ' 



124 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

Then said he also to him that bade him, " When 
thou, makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy 
friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor 
thy rich neighbours ; lest they also bid thee again, 
f.nd a recompense be made thee. But when thou 
makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, 
the blind : And thou shalt be blessed ; for they 
cannot recompense theer^trr thou shalt be re- 
wisdom compensed at the resurrection of the 
hath just." And when one of them that sat 

her n tabf<£ a ^ m eat with him heard these things 
Prov.9: 2. he said unto him, " Blessed is he that 
shall eat bread in the kingdom of God." 

Then said he unto him, " A certain man made 
a great supper, and fcade many: And sent his 
servant at supper time to say to them that were 
bidden, Come ; for all things are now ready. 
And they all with one consent began to make 
excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a 
piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it : I 
pray thee have me excused. And another said, I 
have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove 
them : I pray thee have me excused. And another 
said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot 
come. So that servant came, and shewed his lord 
these things. Then the master of the house being 
angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the 
streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither 
the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the 
blind. And the servant said, Lord, ifc is done as 
thou hast commanded, and yet there is room, kndf 
the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the 
highways and hedges, and compel them to conn* 
in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto 
you, That none of those men which were bidden 
shall taste of my supper/'

And there went great multitudes Luk 

with him : and he turned, and said unto ~. „, "

them, "If any man come to me, and the 
hate not his father, and mother, and wife, 5J2°S?3i? 
and children, and brethren, and sisters, 
yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my 
disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, 
and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For 
which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth 
not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he 
have sufficient to finish it ? Lest haply, after he 
hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish 
it, all that behold it begin to mock him. Saying, 
This man began to build, and was not able to 
finish. Or what king, going to make war against 
another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth 
whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him 
that cometh against him with twenty thousand ? 
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he 
sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of 
peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that 
fojsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my 
disciple. " " Salt is good: but if the salt have lose 
us savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned ? It is 
neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill ; 
but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let 
him hear." Then drew near unto him all the 
publicans and sinners for to hear him. L . , ffi 
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, 
saying, * This man receiveth sinners, and eateth 
with them.' And he spake this parable unto them, 
saying, "What man of you, having an hundred 
sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not 
leave the ninety and nine in the f^nghi : a. 
wilderness, and go after that which is 
lost, until he find it ? And when he hath found it, he 
layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he 



126 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

coineth home, he calleth together his friends and 
neighbours, saying unto them, Eejoice with me; 
for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say 
unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over 
one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety 
and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 

' 'Either what woman* having ten pieces of silver, 
if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and 
sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it. 
And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends 
and her neighbours together, saying, Eejoice with 
me ; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 
Likewise. I say unto you, there is joy in the 
presence of the angels of God over one sinner that 
repenteth." 

And he said, "A certain man had 
Gen°27:43. two sons : And the younger of them 
said to his father, Father, give me the 
portion of goods that falleth to me. And he 
divided unto them his living. And not many days 
after the younger son gathered all together, and 
took his journey into a far country, and there 
wasted his substance with riotous living. And 
when he had spent all, th^re arose a mighty famine 
in that land ; and he began to be in want. And he 
went and joined himself to a citizen of that 
country ; and he sent him into his fields to feed 
swine. And he would fain have filled his belly 
with the husks that the swine did eat : and no man 
gave unto him. And when he came to himself he 
said, How many hired servants of my father's have 
bread enough and to spare, and I perish with 
hunger ! I will arise and go to my father, and will 
Bay unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, 
and before thee, And am no more worthy to be 
called thy son : make me as one of thy hired 
servants. And he arose, and came to his father. 



THE FAR EAST 127 

but when he was yet a great way off, his fathei 
saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on 
his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto 
him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in 
thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy 
son. But the father said to his servants, Bring 
forth the best robe, and put it on him ; and put a 
ring on his hand and shoes on his feet : And bring 
hither the fatted calf, and kill it ; and let us eat, 
and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is 
alive again ; he was lost, and is found. And they 
began to be merry. Now his elder son Esau 
was in the field: and as he came and Gen. 32: 6. 
drew nigh to the house he hea^d musick and 
dancing. And he called one of the servants, and 
asked what these things meant. And he said 
unto him, Thy brother is come ; and thy father hath 
killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him 
safe and sound. And he was angry, and would not 
go in : therefore came his father out, and intreated 
him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, 
these many years do I serve thee, neither trans- 
gressed I at any time thy commandment : and yet 
thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry 
with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was 
come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, 
thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he 
said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and 
all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should 
make merry, and be glad : for this thy brother was 
dead, and is alive again : and was lost, and is found.' 

And he said also unto his disciples, Luke 16# 
" There was a certain rich man, which had a 
steward ; and the same was accused unto him that 
he had wasted his goods. And he called Be found 
him, and said unto him, How is it that I faithful.

steward. Then the steward said within himself, 
What shall I do ? for my lord taketh away from, 
me the stewardship : I cannot dig ; to bpg I am 
ashamed. I am resolved what to do, that, w T hen 1 
am put out of the stewardship, they may receive 
me into their houses. So he called every one of his 
lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How 
much owest thou unto my lord ? And he said, An 
hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, 
Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. 
Then said he to another, And how much owest 
thou? And he said, An hundred measures of 
wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, 
and write fourscore. And the lord com- 
mended the unjust steward, because he had 
done wisely : for the children of this world are 
in their generation wiser than the children of 
light. 

Let them " ^ n< ^ ^ Sa ^ Un ^'° J™' ^ a ^ e ^° your-

may receive you into everlasting habita-

faithful also in much : and he that is unjust in the 
least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have 
not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who 
will commit to your trust the true riches ? And if 
ye have not been faithful in that which is another 
man's, who shall give you that which is your 
own ? No servant can serve two 
Luke i6:H-3i. m asters : for either he will hate the one, 
and love the other ; or else he will hold to the one, 
and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, 
heard all these things : and they derided him.

And he said unto them. "Ye are they Naked and 
which justify yourselves before men ; open. ^ 
but God knoweth your hearts : for 
that which is highly esteemed among men is 
abomination in the sight of God. The law and the 
prophets were until John : since that time the 
kingdom of God is preached, and every man 
presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and 
earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. 
'Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth 
another, committeth adultery : and whosoever 
marrieth her that is put away from her husband 
committeth adultery." 

" There was a certain rich man which was 
clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared 
sumptuously every day. And there was a certain 
beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his 
gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the 
crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: more- 
over the dogs came and licked his sores. And it 
came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried 
by the angels into Abraham's bosom : the rich man 
also died, and was buried ; And in hell he lift up 
his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham 
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried 
and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, 
and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his 
finger in water, and cool my tongue ; for I am 
to 1 mented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, 
remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy 
gcod things, and likewise Lazarus evil things : but 
now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And

thee Aherefore, father, that thou wouldst send him 
to my fat.ner's house ! For I have five brethren; 
that he may testify unto them, lest they also come 
into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto 
him, They have Moses and the prophets ; let them 
hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham : 
but if one went unto them from the dead, they 
will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear 
not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be 
persuaded, though one rose from the dead." 
Luke n: MO. Then said he unto the disciples, " It

millstone were hanged about his neck, 
and he cast into the sea, than that he

to yourselves : If thy brother trespass against thee, 
rebuke him ; and if he repent, forgive him. And if 
he trespass ag linst thee seven times in a day, and 
seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I 
repent : thou shalt forgive him." 

And the apostles said unto the Lord, ' Increase 
our faith/ And the Lord said, " If ye had faith 
as a grain of mustaid seed, ye might say unto this 
irycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and 
be* thou planted in the sea ; and it should obey you. 
But which of you, having a servant, plowing or 
feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when 
he is come from the field, Go and sit down to 
meat? And will not rather say unto him, Make 
**eady wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and 
serve me, till I have eaten and drunken ; and after- 
ward thou shalt eat and drink ? Doth he thank 
that servant because he did the things that were 
commanded him ? I trow not. So likewise ye, 
when ye shall have done all those things which

are commanded you, say, We are un- 

profitable servants : we have done that recompensed. 

which was our duty to do." Rom 11:35 ' 

And when he was demanded of the 
Pharisees, when the kingdom of God 
should come, he answered them and said, " The 
kingdom of God cometh not with observation : 
Neither shall they say, Lo here ! or, lo there ! for 
behold the kingdom of God is within you." And 
he said unto the disciples, " The days will come, 
when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the 
Son of man, and ye shall not see it. And they 
shall say to you, See here ; or see there : go not 
after them, nor follow them. For as the lightning, 
that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, 
shineth unto the other part under heaven ; so shall 
also the Son of man be in his day. But first must 
lie suffer many things, and be rejected of this 
feneration. And as it was in the days of Noe, 
so shall it be also in the days of the Son of 
man. They did eat, they drank, they married 
wives, they were given in marriage, until the day 
that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, 
and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in 
the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they 
bought, they sold, they planted, they builded ; but 
the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained 
fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed 
them all. Even thus shall it be in the The An rf el j 
clay when the Son of man is revealed, the Lord. 
In that day, he which shall be upon the 6a * 37 * 36 * 
housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not 
fome down to take it away : and he that is in the 
field, let him likewise not return back. Remember 
Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life 
: hall lose it ; and whosoever shall lose his life shall 
preserve it. I tell you, in that night there shall bo

two men in one bed ; the one shall be taken, 
and the other shall be left. Two women shall 
be grinding together; the one shall be taken, 
and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; 
the one shall be taken, and the other left." And 
they answered and said unto him, ' Where, Lord? 1 
And he said unto them, " Wheresoever the body is, 
thither will the eagles be gathered together." 

And he spake a parable unto them tc 
this end, that men ought always tc 
pray, and not to faint ; saying, " There was ir 
a city a judge, which feared not God, neithei 
regarded man : and there was a widow in thai 
city ; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me o; 
mine adversary. And he would not for a while 
but afterward he said within himself, Though I feai 
not God, nor regard man ; yet because this widow 
Esther 8 troubleth me, I will avenge her, 
lest by her continual coming she 
weary me." And the Lord said, " Hear what the 
unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his 
own elect, which cry day and night unto him, 
though he bear long with them ? I tell you that he 
will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the 
Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the 
earth ? " And he spake this parable unto certain 
which trusted in themselves that they were 
righteous, and despised others : 
[ had not " ^ wo men went up into the temple

other a publican. The Pharisee stood 
and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, 
that I am not as other men are, extortioners, 
unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast 
twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess 
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift 
up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smota

upon his breast saying, God be merciful to me 
a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to 
his house justified rather than the other : for every 
one that exalteth himself shall be abased ; and he 
that humbleth himself shall be exalted." 
And the Pharisees came to him, and 
asked him, ' Is it lawful for a man to 
put away his wife?' tempting him. And he 
answered and said unto them, "What The wife of 
did Moses command you?" And they thy youth, 
said, * Moses suffered to write a bill of 
divorcement, and to put her away.' And Jesus 
answered and said umo them, " For the hardness 
of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from 
the beginning of the creation God made them 
male and female. For this cause shall a man 
leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife ; 
and they twain shall be one flesh : so then they are 
no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore 
God hath joined together, let not man put 
asunder." They say unto him, * Why 19.719 

did Moses then command to give a 
writing of divorcement, and to put her away ? ' He 
saith unto them, " Moses because of the hardness 
of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives : 
but from the beginning it was not so. And I 
say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, 
except it be for fornication, and shall marry 
another, committeth adultery : and whoso marrieth 
her which is put away doth commit adultery." 
His disciples say unto him, ' If the case of the man 
be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.' But 
he said unto them. "All men cannot receive this 
saying, save they to whom it is given. For 
there are some eunuchs, which were so born from 
their mother's womb : and there are some eunuchs, 
which were made eunuchs of men : and there be

eunuchs, which have made themselves e> nuchs for 
the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to 
receive it, let him receive it." 

Mark 10: And th *Y brought young children 
13-27. to him, that he should touch them : and 
his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, 
deceive with and said unto them, " Suffer the little 
meekness. children to come unto me, and forbid 
them not : for of such is the kingdom of 
God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not 
receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he 
shall not enter therein. " And he took them up in 
his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed 
them. And when he was gone forth into the way, 
there came one running, and kneeled to him, and 
asked him, ' Good Master, what shall I do that 
I may inherit eternal life? ' And Jesus said unto 
him, " Why callest thou me good ? There is nont 
good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest th 
commandments, k

And he answered and said unto him, ' Master, all 
these have I observed from my youth,' Then 
Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, 
" One thing thou lackest : go thy way, sell what- 
soever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou 
shalt have treasure in heaven : and come, take up 
the cross, and follow me." And he was sad at that 
saying and went away grieved : for he had great 
possessions. And Jesus looked round about, and 



THE FAR EAST 130 

saith unto his disciples, " How hardly shall they 
that have riches enter into the kingdom of God ! " 
And the disciples were astonished at his words. 
But Jesus answereth them again, and saith unto 
them. " Children, how hard is it for them that trust 
in riches to enter into the kingdom of God ! It is 
easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, 
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of 
God." And tbey were astonished out of measure 
saying among themselves, ' Who then can be 
saved ? ' A nd Jesus looking upon them saith, 
u With men it is impossible, but not with God : for 
with God all things are possible. " Then answered 
Peter and said unto him, " Behold, we have for- 
saken all, and followed thee ; what shall we have 
therefore ? ' And Jesus said unto them, " Verily I 
say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in 
the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in 
the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve 
thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And 
every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or 
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or The free gift 
children, or lands, for my name's sake, °* God. 
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall om% ' 3 *

shall be last; and the last shall be first." 

" For the kingdom of heaven is like unto 
a man that is an householder, which went out 
early in the morning to hire labourers into his vine- 
yard. And when he had agreed with the labourers 
for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 
And he went out about the third hour, and saw 
others standing idle in the market-place, and said 
unto them ; Go ye also into the vineyard, and what- 
soever is right I will give you. And Last of all. 
they went their way. Again he went ic<w. 15:9. 
out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did like* 



136 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

wise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, 

and found others standing idle, and saith unto 

them, "Why stand ye here all the day idle? They 

say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He 

saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and 

whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when 

even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto 

his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their 

hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And 

when they came that were hired about the eleventh 

hour, they received every man a penny. But when 

the first came they supposed that they should have 

received more; and they likewise received every 

man a penny. And when they had received it, 

they murmured against the goodman of the house, 

saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and 

thou hast made them equal unto us, which have 

borne the burden and heat of the day. But he 

answered one of them and said, Friend, I do thee 

no wrong : didst not thou agree with me for a 

penny ? Take that thine is, and go thy way : I 

will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it 

Qot lawful for me to do w r hat I will with mine own ? 

Is thine eye evil, because I am good ? So the last 

shall be first, and the first last." 

And they were in the way going up to 
^32-3*1° : Jerusalem; and Jesus went before 

them : and they were amazed ; and as 
bhey followed they were afraid. And he took again 
the twelve, and began to tell them what things 
should happen unto him. Saying, " Behold, we go 

up to Jerusalem ; and the Son of man 
Sodom and shall be delivered unto the chief priests, 
Bev. ill 8. and unto the scribes ; and they shall 

condemn him to death, and shall 
deliver him to the Gentiles : And they shall mock 
him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon 



THE FAR EAST 131 

him, and shall kill him : and the third day he shal] 
rise again. " And they understood none Luke 18 . 34# 
of these things : and this saying was 
hid from them, neither knew they the things which 
were spoken. 

And James and John, the sons of Markio: 
Zebedee, came unto him, saying, 35 " 45, 
1 We would that thou shouldest do for us whatso- 
ever we shall desire.' And he said unto him, 
" What would ye that I should do for you ? They 
said unto him, ' Grant unto us that we may sit, one 
on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in 
thy glory/ But Jesus said unto them, " Ye know 
not what ye ask : can ye drink of the cup that I 
drink of ? and be baptized with the baptism that I 
am baptized with?" And they said unto him, 
' We can.' And Jesus said unto them, " Ye shall 
indeed drink of the cup that I drink of ; and with 
the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be 
baptized : But to sit on my right hand and on my 
left hand is not mine to give ; but it shall be given 
to them for whom it is prepared." And when the 
ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with 
James and John. But Jesus called them to him, 
and saith unto them, " Ye know that they which 
are accounted to rale over the Gentiles exercise 
lordship over them : and their great ones exercise 
authority upon them. But so shall it not be among 
you: but whosoever will be great among you shall 
be your minister : And whosoever of you will be 
the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the 
Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to 
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." 

And Jesus entered and passed through T , in . iA 
Jericno. And, behold, there was a man Rahab the 
named Zacchaeus, which was the chief Harlot. 
among the publicans, and he was rich. Josh 6:17f 



138 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

And he sought to see Jesus who he was ; and could 
not for the press, because he was little of stature. 
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore 
fcree to see him : for he was to pass that way. And 
when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and 
saw him, and said unto him, " Zacchseus, make 
haste and come down ; for to-day I must abide at 
thy house." And he made haste, and came down, 
and received him joyfully. And when they saw it, 
they all murmured, saying, * That he was gone to 
be guest with a man that is a sinner.' And Zac- 
chseus stood, and said unto the Lord ; * Behold, 
Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor ; and 
if I have taken any thing from any man by false 
accusation, I restore him fourfold/ And Jesus 
said unto him, " This day is salvation come to this 
house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 
For the son of man has come to seek and to save 
that which was lost." 
Mark 10: And they came to Jericho : and as he 

46-52. went out of Jericho with his disciples 
and a great number of people, blind Bartimseus, 
the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. 
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, 
he began to cry out, and say, * Jesus, thou son of 
David have mercy on me,' And many charged him 
that he should hold his peace: but he cried the 
more a great deal, ' Thou son of David, have mercy 
on me.' And Jesus stood still, and commanded 
him to be called. And they call the blind man, 
saying unto him, * Be of good comfort, rise ; he 
calleth thee.' And he, casting away his garment, 
rose, and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered and 
said unto him, " What wilt thou that I should do 
unto thee." The blind man said unto him, 
' Lord, that I might receive my sight.' And 
Jesus said unto him, "Go thy way; thy faith 



THE FAR EAST 139 

hath made thee whole." And immediately 
he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. 
And as they heard these things, he 
added and spake a parable, because he L "i_ e 2 8? : 
was nigh to Jerusalem, and because 
they thought that the kingdom of God should 
immediately appear. He said therefore, "A certain 
nobleman went into a far country to receive for 
himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called 
his ten servants, and delivered them % ten pounds, 
and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his 
citizens hated him, and sent a message 
after him, saying, We will not have this Jesus from 
man to reign over us. And it came to J? e ^ en * „ 
pass, that when he was returned, having 
received the kingdom, then he commanded these 
servants to be called unto him, to whom he had 
given the money, that he might know how much 
every man had gained by trading. Then came the 
first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten 
pounds. And he said unto him, Well, thou good 
servant : because thou hast been faithful in a very 
little, have thou authority over ten cities. 
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound 
hath gained five pounds. And he said likewise to 
him, Be thou also over five cities. And another 
came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, 
which I have kept laid up in a napkin : For 1 
feared thee, because thou art an austere man : thou 
takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest 
that thou didst not sow. And he saith unto him, 
Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou 
wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an 
austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and 
reaping that I did not sow : Wherefore then 
gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at 
my coming 1 mighG have required mine own with 



140 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

usury? And he said unto them that stood by, 
Take from him the pound, and give it to him that 
hath ten pounds. (And they said unto him, Lord, 
he hath ten pounds.) For I say unto you, That 
unto every one which hath shall be given ; and 
from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be 
taken away from him. But those mine enemies 
which would not that I should reign over them, 
bring hither, and slay them before me." 

And when he had thus spoken, he went 
before, ascending up to Jerusalem. And the 
Jews* passover was nigh at hand : and 

many went out of the country up to 
aiSui 1 'i\u J erusa ^ em before the passover, to purify 

themselves. Then sought they for 
Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they 
stood in the temple, ' What think ye, that he will 
not come to the feast ? ' Now both the chief priests 
and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, 
if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, 
that they might take him. Then Jesus six days 
before the passover came to Bethany, where 
Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised 

from the dead. There they made him a 

Bethlehem 1 / su PP er I anc * Martha served: but 
2 Sam 23 : 15. Lazarus was one of them that sat at 
the table with them. Then took Mary 
a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, 
and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet 
with her hair : and the house was filled with the 
odour of the ointment. Then saith one of his 
disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should 
betray him, l Why was not this ointment sold for 
three hundred pence, and given to the poor ? ■ This 
he said, not that he cared for the poor ; but because 
he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what 
was put therein. Then said Jesus, " Let her 



THE FAR EAST 141 

alone : against tbe day of my burying hath sha 
kept this. For the poor always ye have with you ; 
but me ye have not always." 

Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he 
was there : and they came not for Jesus' sake only, 
but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had 
raised from the dead. But the chief priests con- 
sulted that they might put Lazarus also to death ; 
Because that by reason of hiin many of the Jews 
wen* away, and believed on Jesus. 



CHAPTER IX 

She Xast Wleefc 

HND when they came nigh to Jem 
salem, unto Bethphage and Beth- 
any, at the Mount of Olives, he 
sendeth forth two of his disciples. 
And saith unto them, " Go your way into 
the village over against you : and as soon 
as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a 
colt tied, whereon never man sat ; loose 
him, and bring him- And if any man say unto 
you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath 
need of him ; and straightway he will send him 
hither." And they went their way and found the 
colt tied by the door without in a place where two 
ways met; and they loose him. And certain of 
them that stood there said unto them, 'What do ye, 
loosing the colt?' And they said unto them even 
as Jesus had commanded : and they let them go. 

And they brought the colt to Jesus, and 
flin°s R i:33. cas ^ their garments on him; and ho sat 

upon him. And many spread their gar- 
ments in the way: and others cut down branches 
of the trees, and strawed them in the way. And they 
that went before, and they that followed, cried, 
saying, ' Hosanna ; Blessed is he that cometh in 
the name of the Lord : Blessed be the kingdom of 
our father David, that cometh in the name of the 
Lord; Hosanna in the highest.' And some of

the Pharisees from among the multitude Luke 19 
said unto him, ' Master, rebuke thy dis- 39 ' 44, 
ciples.' And he answered and said unto them, " 1 
tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the 
stones would immediately cry out." And when he 
was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over 
it, saying, " If thou hadst known, even thou, at 
least in this thy day, the things which belong unto 
thy peace ! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 
For the days shall come upon thee, that 
thine enemies shall cast a trench about ctt^feii* 116 
thee, and compass thee round, and keep Rev. 11 .13 
thee in on every side, And shall lay thee 
even with the ground, and thy children within 
thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone 
upon another; because thou knewest not the time 
of thy visitation. 

All this was done, that it might be Matt. 21 : 
fulfilled which was spoken by the pro- * an <*s 
phet, saying, 

Tell ye the daughter of Sion. 

Behold, thy King, cometh unto thee, 

Meek, and sitting upon an ass, 

And a colt the foal of an ass. 
These things understood not his dis- John 12 : 
ciples at the first: but when Jesus was 16 " 19, 
glorified, then remembered they that these things 
were written of him, and that they had done these 
things unto* him. The people therefore that was 
with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, 
and raised him from the dead, bare record. For 
this cause the people also met him, for that they 
heard that he had done this miracle. The Phari- 
sees therefore said among themselves, ' Perceive 
ye how T ye prevail nothing? behold the world is 
gone after him/ And Jesus entered into Mark u : 
Jerusalem, and into the temple: and 11_33, 



H4 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

when lie had looked round about upon all things, 
and now the eventide was come, he went out unto 
Bethany with the twelve- And on the morrow, 
when they were come from Bethany, he was 
hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having 
leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything 
thereon : and when he came to it, he found nothing 
but leaves ; for the time of figs was not yet. And 
Jesus answered and said unto it, u No man eat 
fruit of thee hereafter for ever." And his ais- 
ciples heard it, 

And they come to Jerusalem: and 
thehouse Jesus went into the temple, and began to 

fc£on29% cas k ou * ^ em *^ a * so ^ ancl boughs 
in the temple, and overthrew the tables 

of the moneychangers, and the scats of them that 

sold doves; and would not suffer that any man 

should carry any vessel through th3 temple. And 

be taught, saying unto them, " Is it not written, 

My house shall be called of all nations 

The house of prayer? 

But ye have made it 

A den of thieves." 
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and 
sc ught how they might destroy him: for they 
ftared him, because all the people was astonished 
at his doctiine. And when even was come, he 
went out of the city. 

And in the morning, as they passed 
that?t ked b y> the y saw tn © fig tree dried up 
£ h P u !^ .. from the roots. And Peter calling to re- 
iscdJji 5* 2." membrance saith unto him, 'Master, 
behold, the fig tree which thou curse dst

the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall 
believe that those things which he saith shall 
come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye 
desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, 
and ye shall have them. And when ye stand pray- 
ing, forgive, if ye have ought against any : that 
your Father also which is in heaven may forgive 
you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, nei- 
ther will your Father which is in heaven forgive 
your trespasses. 

And they come again to Jerusalem : and as he 
was walking in the temple, there come o Thou 
to him the chief priests, and the scribes, fl|| r | h g e ° e ' 
and the elders, and say unto him, ' By away. 
what authority doest thou these things V Amos ' 7 :12, 
and who gave thee this authority to do> these 
things V And Jesus answered and said unto them, 
" I will also ask of you one question, and .answer 
me, and I will tell you by what authority I do 
these things. The baptism of John, was it from 
heaven, or of men? answer me/' And they rea- 
soned with themselves, saying, Tf we shall say, From 
heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe 
him V But if we shall say, ' Of men/ they feared 
the people : for all men counted John, that he was 
a prophet indeed. And they answered and said 
unto Jesus, ' We cannot tell-' And Jesus answer- 
ing saith unto them, " Neither do I tell you by 
what authority I do these things. But what think 
ye ? A certain man had two sons ; and Matt. 21: j 
he came to the first, and said, Son, go 28 ' 46, 
work to day in my vineyard. He answered and 
said, I will not : but afterwards he re- Barnabas 
pented, and went. And he came to the took Mark, 
second, and said likewise. And he 
answered and said, I go, sir : and went not. 
Whether of them twain did the will of his father V 



146 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

They say unto him, ' T 1 c first.' Jesus saith unW 
them, " Verily I say unto you, That the publicans 
and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before 
you. For John cam© unto you in the way of right- 
eousness, and y© believed him not: but the pub- 
licans and the harlots believed him : and ye, when 
y© had seen it, repented not afterwards, that ye 
might believe him." 

Hear another parable : " There was a certain 
householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged 
it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and 
built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and 
went into a far country: and when the time of 
the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the 
By their fall husbandmen, that they might receive the 
salvation fruits of it. And the husbandmen took 
Bentiies 6 . his servants, and beat one, and killed 
Romans 11:11. another, and stoned another. Again he 
sent other servants more than the first- and they 
did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent 
unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my 
son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they 
said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let 
us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance- 
And they caught him, and cast him out of the vine- 
yard, and slew him. When the lord therefore of 
the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those 
husbandmen ? They say unto him, He will miser- 
ably destroy those wicked men, and will let out 
his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall 
render him the fruits in their seasons. 

Jesus saith unto them, " Did ye never read in 
the scriptures, 

The stone which the builders rejected, 
The same is become the head of the corner. 
This is the Lord's doing, 
And it is marvellous in our eyes? 



THE LAST WEEK 117 

'Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God 
shall be taken from you, and given to a nation 
bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever 
shall fall on this stone shall be broken : _ A . „ 

It Sn3.ll 

but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will break in 

grind him to powder." And when the J^f' 2 . u 

chief priests and Pharisees had heard 

his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 

But when they sought to lay hands on him, they 

feared the multitude, because they took him for a 

prophet. 

And Jesus answered and spake unto 
them again by parables, and said Matt. 22: 
" The kingdom of heaven is like unto a 1 " li * 
certain king which made a marriage for his son, 
and sent forth his servants to call them that were 
bidden to the wedding : and they would not come. 
Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell 

them which are bidden, Behold, I have „ _ 

-. . ' , Neglect so 

prepared my dinner: my oxen and my great 

fatlings are killed, and all things are ^}™l*™' 3 
ready: come unto the marriage. But 
they made light of it, and went their ways, one to 
hia farm, another to his merchandise: And the 
remnant took his servants, and entreated them 
spitefully, and slew them. But when the king 
heard thereof, he was wroth : and he sent forth 
his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and 
burned up their city. Then saith he to his ser- 
vants, The wedding is ready, but they which were 
bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the 
highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the 
marriage. So those servants went out into the 
highways, and gathered together all as many as 
they found, both bad and good : and the wedding 
was furnished with guests. And when the king 
came in to- see the guests, he saw there a man which 
had not on a wedding garment : And he saith unto 



148 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

M him, Friend, bow earnest thou in hither 

iictsofthe not having a wedding garment? And he 
to n i9*:8. was speechless. Then said the King to 
the servants, Bind him hand and foot 
and take him away, and cast him into outer dark- 
ness*; there shall be weeping and gnashing of 
teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen." 
Mark 12: And they send unto him certain of the 
13-37. Pharisees and of the lierodians, to catch 
him in his words. And when they were come, 
they say unto him, ' Master, we know that thou 
art true, and carest for no man : for thou regardest 
not the person of men, but teaehest the way of 
God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to 
Finder to Caesar, or not? Shall we give, or shall 
an their we not give?' But he, knowing their 
^ ues * hypocrisy, said unto them, " Why tempt 

ye me ? bring me a penny, that I may see 
it." And they brought it. And he saith unto them, 
' Whose is this image and superscription?" And 
they said unto him, 4 Caesar's/ And Jesus answer- 
ing said unto them, " Render to Caesar the things 
that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are 
God's." And they marvelled at him. 
Ghrist Then come unto him the Sadducees, 

brought which say there is no resurrection; 
to'nghtf 11 * 7 and they asked him, saying, < Master, 
2 rim i:io. Moses wrote unto us, If a man's 
brother die, and leave his wife behind him, 
and leave no children, that his brother 
should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his 
brother. Now there were seven brethren: and 
the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. And 
the second took her and died, neither left he any 
seed: and the third likewise. And the seven had 
her, and left no seed : last of all the woman died 
also. In the resurrection therefore, when they 
shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the 



THE LAST WEEK 119 

seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said 
unto them, " Do ye not therefore err, because ye 
know not the scriptures, neither the power of God ? 
For when they shall rise from the dead, they 
neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but 
are as the> angels which are in heaven. And as 
touching the dead, that they rise : have ye not 
read in the book o>f Moses, how in the bush God 
spake unto him, saying, 

I am the God of Abraham, 
And the God of Isaac, 
And the God of Jacob ? 

He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the 
living: ye therefore do greatly err. And one of 
the scribes came, and having heard them reason- 
ing together, and perceiving that he had answered 
them well, asked him, ' Which is the first com- 
mandment of all?' And Jesus answered him ; 
" The first of all the commandments is, 

Hear, O Israel ; 

The Lord our God is one Lord : 

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

With all thy heart, 

And with all thy soul, 

And with all thy mind, 

And with all thy strength : 

this is the first commandment. And the second is 
like, namely this, 
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

There is none other commandment greater than 
these." And the scribe said unto him, x SQe a

for there is one God, and there is none member-, 
other but he: And to love him with all Bam .7: 23.

self, is more than all the whole burnt offerings 
and sacrifices. ' And when Jesus saw that he 
answered discreetly, he said unto him, " Thou art 
not far from the kingdom of God." And no man 
after that durst ask him any question. And Jesus 
^answered and said, while he taught in the temple. 
" How say the scribes that Christ is the son of 
David ? for David himself said by the Holy Gho®^ 

The Lord said to my Lord, 

Sit thou on my right hand, 

Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 

David therefore himself calleth him 

By the re- Lord ; and whence is he then his son ?" 

s ?5u e Si tio 5 And the common people heard him 
of the dead i n r £ 

nom i . 3-4 gladly. 

Matt. 23: Then spake Jesus to the multi- 

tude, and to his disciples, saying, 
" The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses ; 
T h st sea 'k : ^^ therefore whatsoever they bid 
rhou not you observe,, that observe and do ; but 
Kom^\\. d° n °k Y e after their works: for they 
say, and do not. For they bind heavy 
burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on 
men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move 
them with one of their fingers. But all their works 
they do for to be seen of men : they make broad 
their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of theii 
garments, and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, 
and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greet- 
ings in the market, and to be called of men, Rabbi, 
Rabbi. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is 
your Master, even Christ ; and all ye are brethren. 
And call no man your father upon the earth : f oi

" But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo-

treasury, and beheld how the people cast Mark 12 
money into the treasury : and many that 11 " 4 *- 
were rich cast in much. And there came a certain 
poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which 
make a farthing. And he called unto 
him his disciples, and saith unto them, ashman 16 
" Verily I say unto you, That this poor hath,

which have cast into the treasury. For all they 
did cast in of their abundance; but she of her 
want did cast in all that she had, even all her 
living. And there were certain Greeks

the feast: The same came therefore to 
Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Gali- JhiiicSme 
lee, and desired him, saying, ' Sir, we *° th v u S ht « 
w T ould see Jesus/ Philip cometh and 
telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell 
Jesus. 

And Jesus answered them, saying, " The hour 
is come that the Son of man should be glorified. 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of 
wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth 
alone : but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that 
hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life 
eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me ; 
and where I am, there shall also* my servant be: 
if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 
Now is my soul troubled ; and what shall I say ? 
Father, save me from this hour : but for this cause 
came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name." 
Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, 



i5* THE MAN OF GALILEE 

" I have both glorified it, 

And will glorify it again." 
The people therefore, that stood by, and heaSH? 
it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel 
spake to him. Jesus answered and said, " This 
voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 
Now is the judgment of this world : now shall the 
prince of this world be cast out. And 
whole 16 X i l f I be lifted up from the earth, will 
W j r / ld V 2 draw all men unto me." This he said, 
signifying what death he should die. 
The people answered him, ' We have heard out of 
the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how 
say est thou, The Son of man must be lifted up ? 
who is this Son of man!' Then Jesus said unto 
them, " Yet a little while is the light with you. 
Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness, come 
upon you: for he that walketh in darkness 
knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have light, 
believe in the light, that ye may be the children 
of light." These things spake Jesus, and departed, 
and did hide himself from them. 

But though he had done so many miracles be- 
fore them, yet they believed not on him : That the 
saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, 
which he spake, 

Lord, who hath believed our report? 

And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been 
revealed ? 

Therefore they could not believe, because that 
Esaias said again, 

He hath blinded their eyes, 

And hardened their heart, 

That they should not see with their eyes, 

Nor understand with their hearty 

And be converted, 

And I should heal theni 



THE LAST WEEK 155* 

These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, 
and spake of him. 

Nevertheless among the chief rulers also^many 
believed on him ; but because of the Pharisees 
they did not confess him, lest they should be put 
out of the synagogue: for they loved the praise of 
men more than the praise of God. Jesus cried 
and said, " He that believeth on me, believeth not 
on me, but on him that sent me. And he that 
seeth me seeth him that sent me. I am come a 
light into the world, that whosoever believeth on 
me should not abide in darkness. And if any man 
hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: 
for I came not to- judge the world, but to save the 
world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not 
my words, hath one that judgeth him: 
the word that I have spoken, the same I will 
shall judge him in the last day. For I ofhim! " 
have not spoken of myself; but the Deut.is-.i9. 
Father which sent me, he gave me a 
commandment, what I should say, and what I 
should speak. And I know that his command- 
ment is life everlasting; whatsoever I speak there- 
fore even as the Father said unto me, so I speak." 

And as he went out of the temple, one Mark 13: 
of his disciples saith unto him, ' Master, 1-12. 
see what manner of stones and what buildings are 
here V And Jesus answering said unto 
him, " Seest thou these great buildings ? ^e^use* 
there shall not be left one stone upon of the 
another, that shall not be thrown down." i sa . 52:13. 
And as he sat upon the mount of 
Olives over against the temple, Peter and James 
and John and Andrew asked him privately, " Tell 
us, when shall these things be? and what shall be 
the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled V : 
And Jesus answering them began to say, " Take 
heed lest any man deceive you: for many shall 



156 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall 
deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars 
and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for 
such things must needs be ; but the end shall not 
be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and 
kingdom against kingdom : and there shall be 
earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be 
famines and troubles: these' are the beginnings of 
sorrows. 

" But take heed to yourselves : for they shall 
deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues 
ye shall be beaten : and ye shall be brought before 
rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony 
against them. And the gospel must first be pub- 
lished among all nations. But when they shall 
lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought 
beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye 
premeditate : but whatsoever shall be given you 
in that hour, that speak ye : for it is not ye that 
speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother 
shall betray the brother to death, and the father 
the son : and children shall rise up against their 
parents, and shall cause them to be/ put to death. 

And many false prophets shall rise, 
M ii-if 4: an( ^ sna ^ deceive many. And because 

iniquity shall abound, the love of 
many shall wax cold. But he that shall 
endure unto the end, the same shall be 
saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be 
preached in all the world for a witness unto all 
nations; and then shall the end come. And ye 
Luke 21: shall be hated of all men for my name's

THE LAST WEEK 157 

of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, 
standing where it ought not, (let him Mark 13 : 
that readeth understand), then let them r ^ja h 
that be in Judsea flee to the mountains: went forth 
and let him that is on the housetop not Jerusalem, 
go down into the house, neither enter Jer. 37 : 12. 
therein, to take any thing out of his house : and 
let him that is in the field not turn back again for 
to take up his garment. But woe to them that 
are with child, and to them that give suck in those 
days ! And pray ye that your flight be not in the 
winter. For in those days shall be affliction, such 
as was not from the beginning of the creation 
which God created unto this time, neither shall 
be, for there shall be great distress in the Luke 21 : 
land, and wrath upon this people. And 23 ' 24, 
they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall 
be led away captive into all nations; and Jeru- 
salem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until 
the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 

"And except that the Lord had short- Mark 13: 
ened those days, no flesh should be 20 " 23 «

chosen, he hath shortened the days. And then if 
any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, 
lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs 
and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs 
and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even 
the elect. But take ye heed : behold, I have fore- 
told you all things. Wherefore if they Matt. 24: 
shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the 26 ~ 28 ' 
desert ; go not forth : behold, he is in the secret 
chambers; believe it not. For as the Theudas. 
lightning cometh out of the east, and Acts 5 : 3S - 
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the 
coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever 
the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered

the moon shall not give her light, and the stars of 
heaven shall fall, and the powers that 
Everlasting are m heaven shall be shaken. And 
Dominion, then shall they see the Son of man 
coming in the clouds with great power 
and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and 
shall gather together his elect from the four winds, 
from the uttermost part of the earth to the utter- 
most part of heaven. And when these things begin

Mark 13: " Now learn a parable of the fig tree;

So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things

Heaven and earth shall pass away : but my words

as in the days that were before the flood they 
were eating and drinking, marrying and giving 
in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into 
the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and 
took them all away; so shall also the coming of 
the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field ; 
the one shall be taken and the other left. Two 
women shall be grinding at the mill; the one

and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that 
day come upon you unawares. For as a snare 
shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of 
the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray 
always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape 
all these things that shall come to pass, and to 
stand before trie Son of man." 

' Take ye heed, watch and pray : Mark 12 
for ye know not when the time is. For 33 " 37 - 
the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, 
who left his house, and gave authority to his ser- 
vants, and to every man his work, and commanded 
the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye 
know not when the master of the house cometh, 
at even, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or 
in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you 
sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto 
all, Watch." 

' Watch therefore: for ye know not Matt. 2*: 
what hour your Lord doth come. But * 2-51 * 
know this, that if the goodman of the house had 
known in what watch the thief would come, he 
would have watched, and would not have suffered 
his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also 
ready: for in such an hour as ye think not th$ 
Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and 
wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over 
his household, to give them meat in due season ? 
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he 
cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto 
you, That he shall make him ruler over all his 
goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in 
his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And 
shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat 
and drink with the drunken; The lord of that ser- 
vant shall come in a day when he looketh not for 
him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, and 
shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion

with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and 
gnashing of teeth." 

Mat. 23: "Then shall the kingdom of 

!-i3. heaven be likened unto ten vir- 

gins, which took their lamps, and went 
forth to meet the bridegroom. And five 
of them were wise, and five were foolish. 
They that were foolish took their lamps, 
and took no oil with them : But the wise 
took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered 
and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, 
Behold, the bridegroom cometh ; go ye out to meet 
him. Then all those virgins arose, and 
Be found trimmed their lamps. And the foolish 
2 *2ter3:*i4. said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; 
for our lamps are gone out. But the 
wise answered, saying, Not so<; lest there be not 
enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them 
that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they 
went to buy, the bridegroom came ; and they that 
were ready went in with him to the marriage : and 
the door was shut. Afterward came also the 
other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But 
he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I 
know you not. Watch therefore, for you know 
neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of 
man cometh." 

Matt. 25: " For the kingdom of heaven is as a 

14-so. man travelling into a far country, 
who called his own servants, and delivered unto 
them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, 
to another two, and to another one ; to every man 
according to his several ability; and straightway 
took his journey. Then he that had received the 
five talent9 went and traded with the same, and 
made them other five talents. And likewise he 
that had received two, he also gained other two. 



THE LAST WEEK 161 

But he that had received one went and digged in 
the earth, and hid his lord's money. After a long 
time the lord of those servants cometh, and reo 
koneth with them. And so he that had received 
five talents came and brought other five talents, 
saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me 
five talents : behold I have gained be- to his own 
side them five talents more. His lord } a J? 0U *;\ Q 
said unto him, Well done, thou good and 
faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a 
few things, I will make thee ruler over many 
things : enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Ha 
also that had received two talents came and said, 
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents : be- 
hold, I have gained two other talents beside_them. 
His lord said unto him, Well done good, and 
faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a 
few things, I will make thee ruler over many 
things : enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Then 
he which had received the one talent came and 
said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard 
man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and 
gathering where thou hast not strawed : and I was 
afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth : 
lo, there thou hast that is thine. His lord 
answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and 
slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where 
I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed : 
Thou ought est therefore to have put my money to 
the exchangers, and then at my coming I should 
have received mine own with usury. Take there- 
fore the talent from him, and give it unto him 
which hath ten talents. For unto every one that 
hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: 
but from him that hath not shall be taken away 
even that which he hath. And cast ye the un- 
profitable servant into outer darkness : there shall 
be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Matt 25: " When the Son of man shall come 
in his glory, and all the holy angels 
with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his 
glory: And before him shall be gathered all 
nations: and he shall separate them one from 
another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the 
goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right 
hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the 
King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye 
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom pre- 
pared for you from the foundation of the world : 
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I 
was thirsty, and ye gave me drink : I was a 
stranger, and ye took me in : Naked and ye 
clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was 
in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the 
righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we 
thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and 
gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, 
and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or 
when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came 
unto thee? And the King shall answer and say 
unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye 
have done it unto one of the least of these my 
brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall 
he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart 
from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared 
for the devil and his angels : for I was an hungred, 
and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye 
gave me no drink : I was a stranger, and ye took 
me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, 
and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall 
they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we 
thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, 
or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto 
thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily 
I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of 
the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these

the righteous into life eternal. " 

Now the feast of unleavened bread Luke 22: 
drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 1-6- 
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they 
might kill him ; for they feared the people. 

Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed 
Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And 
he went hi9 way, and communed with the chief 
priests and captains, hew he might betray him 
unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted 
to give him money. And he promised, and sought 
opportunity to betray him unto them in the 
absence of the multitude. 

Then carne the day of unleavened 
bread, when the passover must be killed. Luko 22: 7 
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go find the 
"Go and prepare us the passover, that * T Sam lb -21 
we may eat." And they said unto him, 
1 Where wilt thou that we prepare?' And he said 
unto them, " Behold, when ye are entered into' the 
city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher 
of water; follow him into the house where he 
entereth in. And ye shall say unto the goodman 
of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where 
is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the pass- 
over with my disciples? And he shall shew you a 
large upper room furnished: there make ready. " 
And they went, and found as he had said unto 
them : and they made ready the passover. 

And when the hour was come, he sat down, and 
the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto 
them, " With desire I have desired to 
eat this passover with you before I things be 
suffer : for I say unto you, I will not any **™y£^ 
more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in Matt 5 : 18. 
the kingdom of God. And he took the £ better 
cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take Heb, 8: 6.'

Itlg this, and divide it among yourselves: 

finished. for I say unto you, I will not drink of 

John 19 :30 y^ fmit Q|f the yin ^ ^yj ^ k i ngdom 

of God shall come." 
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and 

brake it, and gave unto them, saying, " This is 
my body which is given for you : this do in remem- 
brance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, 
saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, 
which is shed for you. But, behold, the hand of 
him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 
And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was deter- 
mined: but woe unto that man by whom he is 
betrayed ! And they began to enquire among 
themselves, which of them it was that should do 
this thing. And there was also a strife among 
them, which of them should be accounted the 
greatest. And he sajd unto them, " The 
kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them ; 
and they that exercise authority upon them are 
called benefactors;. But ye shall not be so : but he 
that is greatest among you, let him be as the 
younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth 
serve. For whether is greater, he that 
God's sitteth at meat, or he that serveth'? is 

workers. n °k nei that sitteth at meat? but I am

put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, 
to betray him ; Jesus knowing that the Father had 
given all things into his hands, and that he was 
come from God, and went to God ; he riseth from 
supper, and laid aside his garments;; and took a 
towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth 
water into a basin, and began to wash the 
disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel 
wherewith he was girded. Then cometh he to 
Simon Peter : and Peter saith unto him, ' Lord, 
dost thou wash my feet?' Jesus answered and 
said unto him, " What I do thou knowest not now ; 
but thou shalt know hereafter. " Peter saith unto 
him, l Thou shalt never wash my feet.' Jesus 
answered him, " If I wash thee not, thou hast no 
part with me." Simon. Peter saith unto him, 
' Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and 
my head/ Jesus saith to him, " He that is 
washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is 
clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all." 
For he knew who should betray him; therefore 
said he, " Ye are not all clean." 

So after he had washed their feet, 
and had taken his garments, and was set i 2 ?20. ' 
down again, he said unto them, " Know Gather d 
ye what I have done to you? Ye call bundle of 
me Master and Lord : and ye say well ; st ^ # 2 8 : 3. 
for so I am. If I then, your Lord and 
Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to 
wash o-ne another's feet. For I have given you 
an example, that ye should do as I have done to 
you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant 
is not greater than his lord; neither he that is 
sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know 
these things, happy are ye if ye do them. I speak 
not of you all : I know whom I have chosen : but 
that the scripture may be fulfilled, 



166 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

He that eateth bread with me 
Hath lifted up his heel against me. 
Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is 
come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, He that receive th whom- 
soever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth 
me receiveth him that sent me." 
John 13: When Jesus had thus said, he was 
troubled in spirit, and testified, and 
said, " Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of 
you shall betray me," Then the disciples looked 
one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now 
there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his 
disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter there- 
fore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it 
should be of whom he spake. He then lying on 
Jesus' breast saith unto him, 'Lord, who is it?' 
Jesus answered, " He it is, to whom I shall give a 
sop, when I have dipped it." And when he had 
dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the 
son of Simon. And after the sop Satan 
Rn evil entered into him. Then said Jesus

had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy 
those things that we have need of against the 
feast; or, that he should give something to the 
poor. He them having received the sop went 
immediately out: and it was night. Therefore, 
John is : when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is 
81 ' 38 ' the Son of man glorified, and God is 
glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God 
shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straight- 
way glorify him. Little children, yet a little

ment I give unto you, That ye love one 
another; as I have loved you, that ye belinniJjg 
also love one another. By this shall all 2 John J. 
men know that ye are my disciples, if ye 
have love one to another." Simon Peter said untc 
him, ' Lord, whither goest thou?' Jesus answered 
him, " Whither I go, thou canst no f follow me 
now ; but thou shalt follow me afterwards/' Petei 
said unto him, l Lord, why cannot I follow thee 
now ? I will lay down my life for thy sake.' 
Jesus answered him, " Wilt thou lay down thy life 
for my sake ? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The 
cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me 
thrice." 

And he said unto them, " When I Luke 22 

35-38 

sent you without purse, and scrip, and 
shoes, lacked ye any thing?" And they said, 
* Nothing.' Then said he unto them, " But now, 
he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise 
his scrip : and he that hath no sword, let him 
sell his garment, and buy one. For I say unto 
you, that this that is written must yet be accom- 
plished in me. And he was reckoned among 
the transgressors: for the things concerning me 
have an end." And they said, ' Lord, behold, 
here are two swords.' And he said unto them, 
" It is enough." 

" Let not your heart be troubled : John 1* : 
ye believe in God, believe also in me. 
In my Fatner's house are many mansions: if it 
were not so, I would have told you. I go to pre- 
pare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a 
place for you, I will come again, and receive you 
unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be 
also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye 
know." 

Thomas saith unto him. ' Lord, we know

not whither thou goest; and how 
th^fi^t can we know the way?' Jesus saith 
tabernacle unto him, " I am the way, the truth,

thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and witnesses 
not unto the world?' Jesus answered chosen 
and said unto him, " If a man love me, God. re y

will love him, and we will come unto 
him, and make our abode with him. He that 
loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the 
word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's 
which sent me. These things have I spoken unto 
you, being yet present with you. But the Com- 
forter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father 
will send in my name, he shall teach you all 
things, and bring all things to your remembrance, 
whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave 
with you, my peace- I give unto you: not as the 
world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your 
heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye 
have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and 
come again unto you. If ye loved me, 
ye would rejoice, because I said, I go He 
unto the Father: for my Father is nTmseif. 
greater than I. And now I have told you Phil. 2: 7 
before it come to pass., that, when it is 
come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will 
not talk much with you: for the prince of this 
world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that 
the world may know that I love the Father; and 
as the Father gave me commandment, even so I 
do. Arise, let us go hence."

ber the word that I said unto you, The servant is 
not greater than his lord. If they have perse- 
cuted me, they will also persecute you; if they 
have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 
But all these things will they do unto you for my

but now have they both seen and hated both me

the word might be fulfilled that is written in their 
law, They hated me without a cause. But 
when the Comforter is come, whom I will send 
unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of 
truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall 
testify of me: and ye also shall bear witness, 
because ye have been with me from the beginning.

I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may

" But now I go my way to him that sent me ; 
and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 
But because I have said these things unto you, 
sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell 
you the truth ; It is expedient for you that I go 
away : for if I go not away, the Comforter will not 
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him 
unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove 
the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of 
judgment: of sin, because they believe not on me; 
of righteousnesiS, because I go to my Father, and 
ye see me no more; of judgment, because the 
prince of this world is judged. I have yet many 
things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them 
now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is 
comei, he will guide you into all truth : for he shall 
not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall 
hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you

and, Because I go to the Father?' They said 
therefore, ( What is this that he saith, A little

will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing 
in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your

His disciples said unto him, ' Lo, now speakesb 
thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now are 
we sure that thou know est all things, and needeb 
not that any man should ask thee: by this we 
believe that thou earnest forth from God/ Jesus

_ _ „„ These words spake Jesus, and lifted 

John 17. -, . . x , ? n . ,

the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, 
O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self 
with the glory which I had with thee, before the 
world was. 

" I have manifested thy name unto the men 
which thou gavest me out of the world : thine they 
were, and thou gavest them me; and they have 
kept thy word. Now they have known that all

world, I kept them in thy name : those that thou 
gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, 
but the son of perdition; that the scripture might 
be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these 
things I speak in the world, that they might have 
my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them 
thy word; and the world hath hated them, 
because they are not of the world, even as I am 
not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest

thafc the love wherewith thou hast loved me may 
be in them, and I in them." When Jesus had 
J»hn 18: spoken these words, he went forth with 
1-2 his disciples over the brook Cedron, 

where was a garden, into the which he entered, 
and his disciples And Judas also, which be*- 
trayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes 
resorted thither with his disciples.

two sons of Zebedee, and began to* be 

sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto 

them, " My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto 

death: tarry ye here, and watch with me." And 

he went a little further, and fell on his face, and 

prayed, saying, " O my Father, if it be possible, 

let this cup pass from me: nevertheless! not as I 

Luke Q2 : will, but as thou wilt/' And there

heaven, strengthening him. And being in an

and findeth them asleep, and saith 

unto Peter, " What, could ye not watch with me 

one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not 

into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but 

the flesh is weak." He went away again the 

second time, and prayed, saying, " O my Father, 

if this cup may not pass away from me, except I 

drink it, thy will be done." And he came and 

found them asleep again : for their eyes were 

heavy. And he left them, and went away again, 

and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 

,Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto 

them, " Sleep on now, and take your rest : 

" Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of 

man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise,

let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth 
betray me. ;; And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, 
one of the twelve, came, and with him a great 
multitude with swords and staves, from the chief 
priests and elders of the people. Jesus therefore, 
knowing all things that should come Matt. 26 
upon him, went forth, and said unto 48 ' 56, 
them, " Whom seek ye !" They answered John 18: * 9 ' 
him, ' Jesus of Nazareth.' Jesus saith unto them 
" I am he." And Judas also-, which betrayed him. 
stood with them. As soon then as he had said 
unto them, " I am he," they went backward, and 
fell to the ground. Then asked he them_ again, 
"Whom seek ye?" And they said, 'Jesus of 
Nazareth.' Jesus answered, " I have told you 
that I am he : if therefore ye seek me, let these go 
their way:" that the saying might be fulfilled, 
which he spake, 

" Of them which thou gayest me have I lost 
none." 

Now he that betrayed him gavs them a sign, 
saying, ' Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he : 
hold him fast/ And forthwith he came 
to Jesus, and said, ' Hail, master ; and J^fo^ ed 
kissed him.' And Jesus said unto him, him a 
"Friend, wherefore art thou come?" ^"11:8. 
Then came they, and laid hands on 
Jesus, and took him. And, behold, one of them 
which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and 
drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high 
priest's, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus 
unto him, " Put up again thy sword into his 
place : for all they that take the sword shall perish 
with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now 
pray to my Father, and he shall presently give 
me more than twelve legions of angels? But how 
then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it 



178 THE MAN OF GALILEE

said, " Suffer ye thus far." And he 

touched his ear, and healed him. In that same 

hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come

of the prophets might be fulfilled." 

Then all the disciples forsook him, 

81-32. : and fled - And there followed him a

naked. Then the band and the captain and 
John 18 : officers of the Jews took Jesus, and 
12-27. bound him, and led him away to Annas 
first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which 
was the high priest that same year. Now 
Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, 
that it was expedient that one man should die for 
the people. 

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did 
another disciple : that disciple was known unto the 
high priest, and went in with Jesus into the 
palace of the high priest. But Peter stood at the 
door without. Then went out that other disciple, 
which was known untoi the high priest, and spake 
unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. 
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto 
Peter, ' Art not thou also one of this man's dis- 
ciples V He saith, ' I am not' And the servants 
and officers stood there, who had made a fire of 
coals; for it was cold: and they warmed them- 
selves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed 
himself. The high priest then asked Jesus of 
his disciples, and of his doctrine. Jesus answered

him, " I spake openly to the world ; I ever taught 
in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the 
Jews always resort ; and in secret have I said 
nothing. Why askest thou mel ask 
them which heard me, what I have said {^J^^ 
unto them : behold, they know what I Acts. 23 : 3/ 
said." And when he had thus spoken, 
one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with 
the palm of his hand, saying, ' Answerest thou the 
high priest so? ? Jesus answered him, "If I have 
spoken evil, bear witness of the evil : but if well, 
why smitest thou me ?" Now Annas had sent him 
bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. And Simon 
Peter stood and warmed himself. They said there- 
fore unto him, ' Art not thou also* one of his dis- 
ciples?' He denied it, and said, ' I am not/ One 
of the servants of the high priest, being 
his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, Pithless 
saith, i Did not I see thee in the garden He abideth

and immediately the cock crew. And 
Peter remembered the word of Jesus, Matt. 26: 7S. 
which said unto him, Before the cock 
crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went 
out, and wept bitterly. Now the chief priests, 
and elders, and all the council, sought Matt. 26 : 
false witness against Jesus, to put him 59-68 
to death ; but found none : yea, though many false 
witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last 
came two false witnesses, and said, ' This fellow 
said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and 
to build it in three days/ And the high priest 
arose, and said unto him, ' Answerest thou 
nothing? what is it which these witness against 
thee?' But Jesus held his peace. And Thineown 
the high priest answered and said unto mouth 
him, ' I adjure thee by the living God, 5££* emI1 
thai; thou tell us whether thou be the Job 15 :* 



180 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith unto 
him, " Thou hast said : nevertheless I say 
unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man 
sitting on the right hand of power, and com- 
ing in the clouds of heaven.' ' Then the high 
priest rent his clothes, saying, ' He hath spoken 
blasphemy ; what further need have we of wit- 
nesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 
What think ye?' They answered and said, ' He 
is guilty of death. ' Then did they spit in his face, 
and buffeted him ; and others smote him with the 
palms of their hands, saying, ' Prophesy unto us, 
thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee V Then 
led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of 
John 18: judgment: and it was early; and they 
28-32. themselves went not into the judgment 
hall, lest they should be denied; but that th^y 
might eat the passover. Pilate then went out 

unto them, and said, i What accusation

not a malefactor, we would not have de-

them, ' Take ye him, and judge him according to 
your law/ The Jews therefore said unto him, ' It 
is not lawful for us to put any man to death :' that 
the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he 
spake, signifying what death he should die. And

* Art thou the King of the Jews?' Jesus answered 
him, " Sayst thou this thing of thyself, or did 
others tell it thee of me?" Pilate answered, ' Am

done?' Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of 
this world : if my kingdom were of this world, then 
would my servants fight, that I should not be 
delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not 
from hence." Pilate therefore said unto him, 

* Art thou a king then V Jesus answered, " Thou 
sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, 
and for this cause came I into the world, that I 
should bear witness unto the truth. Every one

And when he had said this, he went out things,

them, 'I find in him no fault at all/ 

And they were the more fierce, saying, Luke 23 ; 

* He stirreth up the people, teaching, 5-12 « 
throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to 
ihis place/ When Pilate heard of Galilee, he 
*sked whether the man were a Galilean. And as 
soon aa ho knew that he belonged unto Herod's 
jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself 
also was at Jerusalem at that time. And when 
Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he 
was desirous to see him of a long season, because he 
had heard many things of him ; and he hoped to 
have seen some miracle done by him. Then he 
Questioned with him in many words; but he 
answered him nothing. And the chief priests and 
scribes stood and vehemently accused him. And 
Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and 
mocked him, and arrayed him in a 
gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Therulers 
Pilate. And the same day Pilate and take 
Herod were made friends together: for together. 
before they were at enmity between p*«- 2 : 2. 
themselves. Now at that feast the M ^ t o| 7t 
governor was wont to release unto the

people a prisoner, whom they would. And they 
had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate 
said unto them, ' Whom will ye that I release unto 
you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?' 
For he knew that for envy they had delivered 
him. When he was set down on the judgment 
seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, ' Have thou 
nothing to do with that just man: for I have 
suffered many things this day in a dream because 
of him.' But the chief priests and elders per- 
suaded the multitude that they should ask 
Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. The governor 
answered and said unto them, ' Whether of the 
twain will ye that I release unto you?' They 
said, ' Barabbas. ' Pilate saith unto them, c What 
shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ V 
They all say unto him, ' Let him be crucified. ' 
And the governor said, ' Why, what evil hath he 
done V But they cried out the more, saying, ' Let 
him be crucified.' When Pilate saw that he could 
prevail nothing, but that rather a 
I am guilt- tumult was made, he took water, and 
2Sam. 3:28. washed his hands before the multitude, 
saying, ' I am innocent of the blood of 
this just person : see ye to it.' Then answered all 
the people, and said, ' His blood be on us, and on 
John 19 : our children.' Then Pilate therefore 
i-ie- took Jesus, and scourged him. And 
the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put 
it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 
and said, ' Hail, King of the Jews!' and they smote 
him with their hands. Pilate therefore went forth 
again, and saith unto them, ' Behold, I bring him 
forth to you, that ye may know that I find no 
fault in him/ Then came Jesus forth, wearing 
the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And 
Pilate saith unto them, ' Behold the man !' When 



THE LAST WEEK 183 

the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, 
they cried out, saying, ' Crucify him, crucify him/ 
Pilate saith unto them, ' Take ye him, and crucify 
him : for I find no fault in him/ The Jews 
answered him, ' We have a law, and by our law he 
ought to die, because he made himself the Son of 
God/ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, 
he was the more afraid; and went again into the 
judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, ' Whence art 
thou?' But Jesus gave him no- answer. 
Then saith Pilate unto him, ' Speakest No power 
thou not unto me ? knowest thou not Rom. u ; 1 
that I have power to crucify thee, and 
have power to release thee?' Jesns answered, 
" Thou couldest have no power at all against me, 
except it were given thee from above : therefore he 
that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin." 
And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him : 
but the Jews cried out, saying, ' If thou let this 
man go, thou art not Caesar's friend : whosoever 
maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. 

When Pilate therefore heard that say- Hon 
ing, he brought Jesus forth, and sat the King, 
down in the judgment seat in a place ip ^ r2: 
that is called the Pavement, but in the 
Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation 
of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he 
saith unto the Jews, ' Behold your King!' But 
they cried out, ' Away with him, away with him, 
crucify him/ Pilate saith unto them, ' Shall I 
crucify your King?' The chief priests answered, 
' We have no king but Caesar/ Then delivered 
he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And 
they took Jesus, and led him away. 

Then Judas, which had betrayed him, Matt. 27: 
when he saw that he was condemned, 8 ' 10, 
repented himself, and brought again the thirty 
pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 



184: THE MAN OF GALILEE 

saying, ' I have sinned in that I have 

betrayed the innocent blood/ And 
was nT 561 th ey said, ' What is that to us? see thou 
followed. to that/ And he cast down the pieces 
of silver in the temple, and departed, 
and went and hanged himself. And 
the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said. 
1 It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, 
because it is the price of blood.' And they tooi 
counsel, and bought with them tke potter's field, 
to bury strangers in. Wherefore that field was 
called, The field of blood, unto this day. Then 
was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy 
the prophet, saying, ' And they took the thirty 
pieces of silver, 

The price of him that was valued, 

Whom they of the children of Israel did 

value ; 
And gave them for the potter's field, 
As the Lord appointed me/ 

And as they led him away, they laid 
hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, com- 
ing out of the country, and on him they laid the 
cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. And 
there followed him a great company of people, and 
of women, which also' bewailed and lamented him. 
But Jesus turning unto them said, " Daughters of 
Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for your- 
selves, and for your children. For, behold, the 
days are coming, in the which they shall say, 
Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never 
bare, and the paps which never gave suck. Then 
shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on 
us; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do 
these things in a green tree, what shall be done in 
the dry?" And there were also two others, male- 
factors, led with him to be put to death. And 
when they were come to the place, which is called 



THE LAST WEEK 185 

Calvary, there they crucified him, and the male- 
factors, one on the right hand, and the other o» 
the left. Then said Jesus, "Father, for- Had they 
give them: for they know not what known it. 
they do." And Pilate wrote a title, 1 ^ ,2 i : ll 8 

t i. -i 11 a i n i. John 19? 

and put it on the cross. And the writ- 19-24. 
ing was, 

JESUS OF NAZARETH 
THE KING OF THE JEWS. 

This title then read many of the Jews: for the 

place where Jesus was crucified was nigh 

to the city : and it was written in Both to 

Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. Then Barbarian 

said the chief priests of the Jews to Rom 1 : 14. 

Pilate, 'Write not, The King of the 

Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. 

Pilate answered, ' What I have written I have 

written/ 

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified 
Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to 
every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the 
coat was without seam, woven from the top 
throughout. They said therefore among them- 
selves, 'Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose 
it shall be ' : that the scripture might be fulfilled, 
which saith, 

They parted my raiment among them, 
And for my yesture they did cast lots. 
These things therefore the soldiers did.

And they that passed by reviled him, 39.43. * 
wagging their heads, and saying, ' Thou 
that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three 
days, save thyself. If thou be the Son 
of God, come down from the cross/ He opened

him, with the scribes and elders, said, isa. 53 : 7 
'He saved others; himself he cannot

save. If lie be the King of Israel, let him now 
come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 
He trusted in God ; let him deliver him now, if he 
will have him : for he said, I am the Son of God/ 
Luke 23: And one of the malefactors which 

39-53. were hanged railed on him, saying, ' If 

thou be Christ, save thyself and us/ But the 

other answering rebuked him, saying, 
inter- 8, e ' Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art

done nothing amis®/ And he said unto 
Jesus, ' Lord, remember me when thou comest 
into thy kingdom/ And Jesus said unto him, 

,c Yerily I say unto thee, 

To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise." 

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his 
mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of 
Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus 
therefore saw his mother^ and the disciple stand- 
ing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, 
" Woman, behold thy son ! " Then saith he to 
the disciple, " Behold thy mother ! " And from 
that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. 

Matt. 27: Now from the sixth hour there was 

4S -* 7 * darkness over all the land unto the 
ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus 
cried with a loud voice, saying, " Eli, Eli, lama 
sabachthani?" that is to say, My God, my God, 
why hast thou forsaken me? Some of them 
that stood there, when they heard that, said, ' This 
man calleth for Elias/ After this, Jesus knowing 

John 19 : that all things were now accomplished, 

28-30. that the scripture might be fulfilled, 

saith, <l I thirst." Now there was set a vessel full 

of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, 



THE LAST WEEK 187 

and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he 
said, " It is finisiisi." And when Jesus had 
cried with a loud voice, he said, 
"Father, into thy hands I commend Luke23:46 - 
my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the 
ghost. And, behold, the veil of the 
temple was rent in twain from the top M |" 5 6. 7: 
to the bottom ; and the earth did quake, Enter int:>

graves after his resurrection, and went into the 
holy city, and appeared unto many. Now when 
the centurion, and they that were with him, 
watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those 
things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, 
' Truly this was the Son of God.' And^ many 
women were there beholding afar off, which fol- 
lowed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him : 
among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the 
mother of James and Joses [Salome], and the 
mother of Zebeclee's children.

day, (for that sabbath day was an high 
day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be 
broken, and that they might be taken away. Then 
came the soldiers, [and brake the legs of the first, 
and of the other which was crucified with Him. 
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was 
dead already, they brake not his legs : But one of 
the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and 
forthwith came there out blood and water. And 
he that saw it bare record, and his record is true ;

the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the 
body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken 
the body he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and

190 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn 
out in the rock : and he rolled a great stone to the 
door of the sepulchre, and departed. And there 
was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting 
over against the sepulchre. Now the next day, that 
followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests 
and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, saying, 
* Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he 
was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made 
Thine own sure until the third day, lest his disciples 
lips testify, come by night, and steal him away,

and say unto the people, He is risen 
from the dead : so the last error shall be worse than 
the first.' Pilate said unto them, ' Ye have a 
watch : go your way, make it as sure as ye can.' 
So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing 
the stone, and setting a watch. 
Matt.25:i-i5. In the end of the sabbath, as it 
Consult began to dawn toward the first day of 

Mark 16. the week, came Mary Magdalene and 
the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, 
there was a great earthquake : for the angel of the 
Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled 
back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His 
countenance was like lightning, and his raiment 
white as snow : And for fear of him the keepers did 
shake, and became as dead men. And the angel 
answered and said unto the women, ' Fear not ye : 
fori know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 
He is not here : for he is risen, as he said. Come, 
see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, 
and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead ; 
and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; 
there shall ye see him : lo, I have told you. And 
they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear 
and great joy ; and did run to bring his disciples

word. And as they went to tell his disciple^, 
behold, Jesus met them, saying, "All hail. ,, And they 
came and held him by the feet, and worshipped 
him. Then said Jesus unto them, "Be not afraid : 
go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and 
there shall they see me." Now when they were 
going, behold, some of the watch came into the 
city, and shewed unto the chief priests all 
the things that were done. And when they were 
assembled with the elders, and had 
taken counsel, they gave large money That they 
unto the soldiers, saying, ' Say ye, His X* believe 
disciples came by night, and stole him 2 T}ies < 2: U- 
away while we slept. And if this come 
to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and 
secure you.' So they took the money, and did 
as they were taught : and this saying is commonly 
reported among the Jews until this day. j O hn20:3-i8. 
Peter therefore went forth, and that 
other disciple [whom Jesus loved] , and came to 
the sepulchre. So they ran both together : and the 
other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to 
the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and look- 
ing in, saw the linen clothes lying ; yet went he not 
in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and 
went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen 
clothes lie, and the napkin, that was about his head, 
not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped to- 
gether in a place by itself. Then went in also that 
other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, 
and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew 
not the scripture, that he must rise again from the 
dead. Then the disciples went away again intc 
their own home [where was the mother of Jesus] . 

But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weep- 
ing : and as she wept, she stopped down, and 



192 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

looked into the sepulchre, and seeth two angels 
in white sitting, the one at the head, the other 
at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 
And they say unto her, ' Woman, why weepest thou ?' 
She saith unto them, ' Because they have taken aw T ay 
my Lord, and I know not where they have laid 
him.' And when she had thus said, she turned her- 
self back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not 

that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, 
1 °tI £ W 4 ; n i3." " Woman, why weepest thou? whom 

seekest thou?" She, supposing him 
to be the gardener, saith unto him, ' Sir, if thou 
have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid 
him, and I will take him away.' Jesus saith unto 
her, " Mary." She turned herself, and saith unto 
him, ' Rabboni,' which is to say, Master. Jesus 
saith unto her, " Touch me not ; for I am not yet 
ascended to my Father : but go to my brethren, 
and say unto them, ' I ascend unto my Father, 
and your Father ; and to my God, and your God.' " 
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that 
she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken 
these things unto her. 

And behold, two of them went that 
Luke 24: 13-43. same day to a village called Emmaus, 

wmich was from Jerusalem about three- 
score furlongs. And they talked together of 
all these things which had happened. And it 
came to pass, that, while they communed to- 
gether and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, 
and went w T ith them. But their eyes were holden 
that they should not know him. And he said unto 
them, " What manner of communications are these 
that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are 
sad?" And the one of them, whose name was 
Cleopas, answering said unto him,' ' Art thou only 
a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the 



THE FINAL FORTY DAYS 193 

things which are come to pass there in these 
days ? ' And he said unto them, " What things ? " 
And they said unto him, ' Concerning Jesus of 
Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and 
word before God and all the people : and how the 
chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be 
condemned to death, and have crucified him. But 
we trusted that it had been he which should have 
redeemed Israel : and beside all this, to-day is the 
third day since these things were done. Yea, and 
certain women also of our company made us 
astonished, which were early afe the sepulchre ; and 
when they found not his body, they came, saying, 
that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said 
that he was alive. And certain of them which were 
with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as 
the women had said : but him they saw not. Then 
he said unto them, " O fools, and slow He thus 
of heart to believe all that the prophets fulfilled, 
have spoken : Ought not Christ to have 
suffered these things, and to enter into his glory ? " 
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he 
expounded unto them in all the scriptures the 
things concerning himself. And they drew nigh 
unto the village, whither they went : and he made 
as though he w r ould have gone further. But they 
constrained him, saying, ' Abide with us : for it is 
toward evening, and the day is far spent.' And he 
went in to tarry with them. And it came to pass, 
as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, 
and blessed it, and brake and gave to Thathe 
them. And their eyes were opened, may see. 
and they knew him ; and he vanished mgs ( 
out of their sight. And they said one to another, 
1 Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked 
with us by the way, and while he opened to us the 
scriptures? ' And they ros p - up the same hour, and 



194 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven 
(fathered together, and them that were with 
them, saying, ' The Lord is risen indeed, and hath 
appeared to Simon/ And they told what things 
were done in the way, and how he was known 
of them in breaking of bread. 

And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood 
in the midst of them, and saith unto them, "Peace 
be unto you. ,, But they were terrified and 
affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a 
spirit. And he said unto them, " Why are ye 
Our hands troubled ? and why do thoughts arise 
handled. in your hearts? Behold my hands 
and my feet, that it is I myself : handle 
me and see ; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, 
as ye see me have/' And when he had thus 
spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 
And while they yet believed not for joy, and 
wondered, he said unto them, "Have ye here any 
meat?" And they gave him a piece of a broiled 
fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and 
did eat before them. Then were the disciples 

John 29: ghid, when they saw the Lord. Then 
20-29. said Jesus to them again, " Peace be 
unto you : as my Father hath sent me, even so send 
I you/' And when he had said this, he breathed 
on them, and saith unto them, " Receive ye the 
Holy Ghost : Whose soever sins ya remit, they are 
remitted unto them ; and whose soever sins ye 
retain, they are retained/' But Thomas, one of the 
twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when 
Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto 
him, * We have seen the Lord/ But he said unto 
them, ' Except I shall see in his hands the print of 
the nails, and put my finger into the print of 
the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will 
not believe/ Apd after eight days again his 



THE FINAL FORTY DAYS 195 

disciples were within, and Thomas with them : 
then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood 
in the midst, and said, " Peace be unto you." Then 
saith he to Thomas, " Reach hither thy finger, and 
behold my hands ; and reach hither thy hand, and 
thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but 
believing." And Thomas answered and Conflrmed 
said unto him, ' My Lord and my God.' by them 
Jesus saith unto him, " Thomas, because H % 2 h : e ? rd ' 
thou hast seen me, thou hast believed : blessed are 
they that have not seen, and yet have believed." 

After these things Jesus shewed himself again to 
the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; 
and on this wise shewed he himself. ° n21 '^ 1 * 3 
There were together Simon Peter, and Thodo.cs 
called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, 
and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his 
disciples. Simon Peter saith unto them, * I go 
a fishing.' They say unto him, ' We also go with 
thee.' They went forth, and entered into a ship 
immediately; and that night they caught nothing. 
But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood 
on the shore : but the disciples knew a cake of 
not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus bre^ci 
saith unto them, "Children, have ye Judges! %\z. 
any meat? " They answered him, ■ No.' And he 
paid unto them, " Cast the net on the right side of 
the ship, and ye shall find." They cast therefore, 
and now they were not able to draw it for the 
multitude of fishes. Therefore that disciple whom 
Jesus loved saith unto Peter, ' It is the Lord/ Now 
when bimon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he 
girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked), 
and did cast himself into the sea. And the other 
disciples came in a little ship ; (for they were not 
far from 'land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) 
dragging the net with fishes. As soon then as they 



196 THE MAN OF GALILEE 

were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, 
and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus saith unto 
them, " Bring of the fish which ye have now 
caught/' Simon Peter went up, and drew the net 
to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty 
and three : and for all there were so 

wUhthee* 11 man y> J e ^ was no ^ ^he ne * broken. 
Acts 27 : 24. Jesus saith unto them, "Come and dine." 
And none of the disciples durst ask him, 
1 Who art thou ? ' knowing that it was the 
Lord. Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and 
giveth them, and fish likewise. This is now the 
third time that Jesus shewed himself to his 
disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. 

So when they had dined. Jesus saith to 
Manifold ^imon Peter, " Simon, son of Jonas 
trials. lovest 1 thou me more than these [do] ? " 

1 Peter 1:6, He ^.^ ^^ j^ , Yea , Loid: 

thou knowest that I love thee.' He said 

unto him, " Feed my lambs." He saith to him 

again the second time, "Simon, son of Jonas, 

lovest 1 thou me ? " He saith unto him, 

indicate ' ^ ea ' ^^ 5 tnou knowest that I love 2 
different thee/ He saith unto him, " Feed my 
SriginJu* 116 sheep." He saith unto Simon the 
third time, " Simon, son of Jonas, lovest 2 
thou me?" Peter was grieved because he said 
unto him the third time [in his own word] , " Lovest' 
thou me ? " And he said unto him, ' Lord, thou 
knowest all things ; thou knowest that I [do at 
leasfc] love thee.' Jesus saith unto him, " Feed 
my sheep. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When 
thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and 
walkedst whither thou wouldest; but when thou 
shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, 
and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither 
thou wouldest not." This spake he, signifying by 



THE FINAL FORTY DAYS 197 

what death he should glorify God. And when he 
had spoken this, he saith unto him, "Follow me." 

Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple 
whom Jesus loved following ; which also leaned on 
his breast afc supper, and said, ' Lord, which is he 
that betrayeth thee?' Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, 
1 Lord, and what shall this man do ? ' Jesus saith 
unto him, *' If I will that he tarry till I Press on 
come, what is that to theo ? follow thou *Mi.s:it-i* 
me." Then went this saying abroad among the 
brethren, that that disciple should not die : yet Jesus 
said not unto him, "He shall not die; but, If I will 
that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? " 

Then the eleven disciples went away into 
Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus 
had appointed them. And when they 28MCh20 
saw him, they worshipped him : but 
some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto 
them, saying, u All power is given unto me in 
heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach 
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the 
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost : 
Teaching them to observe all things 
whatsoever I have commanded you: Speak, for 

tit ^i i ^ I am with 

and, lo, 1 am with you alway, even unto thee 
the end of the world." And, being ^ sl8:9 
assembled together with them, commanded them 
that they should not depart from 
Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of 
the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of 
me. For John truly baptized with water ; 
but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost 
not many days hence. "When they therefore 
were come together, they asked of him, sayin^ 
' Lord wilt thou at this time restore 
again the kingdom to Israel?' And i° n %XiX el 
he said unto them, (( It is not for you to 1 Th€S - **

Father hath put in his own power. But ye 
shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is 
come upon you : and ye shall be witnesses unto me 
both in Jerusalem, and inall Judaea, and in Samaria 
and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 

Luke 24 : And he said unto them, '* These are 
«-53. the words which I spake unto you, 
while I was yet with you, that all things must be 
fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, 
and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning 
me. Then opened he their understanding, that 
they might understand the Scriptures, and said 
unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved 
Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third 
day : And that repentance and remission of sins 
should be preached in his name among all nations, 
beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of 
these things. And, behold, I send the promise of 
my Father upon you : but tarry ye in the city of 
Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on 
high/' 

The King of And he led them out as far as to 
glory stiaii Bethany, and he lifted up his hands

while he blessed them, he was parted 
from them, and carried up into heaven. And they 
worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with

praising and blessing God. Amen. 



THE ETERNAL MEANING J 99 



TTbe Eternal /iDeaning 

In the beginning was the Word, and 
the Word was with God, and the Word 
was God. The same was in the beginning with 
God. All things were made by him ; and without 
him was not any thing made that was made. In 
him was life; and the life was the light of men. 
And the light shineth in darkness ; and the 
darkness comprehended it not. 

There was a man sent from God, whose name 
was John. The same came for a witness, to bear 
witness of the Light, that all men through him 
might believe. He was not that Light, but was 
sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the 
true light, which lighteth every man that cometh 
into the world. He was in the world, and the 
world was made by him, and the world knew him 
not. He came unto his own, and his own received 
him not. But as many as received him, to them 
gave he power to become the sons of God, even to 
them that believe on his name : Which were born, 
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the 
will of man, but of God, And the Word was made 
flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his 
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the 
Father,) full of grace and truth.

Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye 

might have life through his name.
